Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Controlist at none against Freshboard's 1. Controlist also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Freshboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
