Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HomeControl at 100% against Zarpes's 25%. HomeControl also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Zarpes's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
