Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UTM SE at 3.8 against DR CONTROL's 2.3. UTM SE also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 22%) and ratings volume (560 vs 25). DR CONTROL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
