Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gimbal System at none against Legacy Bot Controller's 9. Gimbal System also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). Legacy Bot Controller's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
