Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RobocklySense at none against INDIGO Control Panel's 3. RobocklySense also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). INDIGO Control Panel's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
