Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Control Box at 100% against Hitori's 27%. Control Box also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). Hitori's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
