Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RF Pro at 5.0 against BLE's 3.0. RF Pro also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 64 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
RF Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RF Pro has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
BLE ships an update every 64 months, RF Pro every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
