Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bed Control at 4.0 against Fan Smart Sync's 2.2. Fan Smart Sync's advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 5) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bed Control holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fan Smart Sync has 146 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Fan Smart Sync's written reviews are positive against 15% of Bed Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
