Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BBCall at 3.0 against TEL3's 1.6. TEL3's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

BBCall holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TEL3 has 87 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
