Verdict

The call

Arduino Bluetooth Pro and DraftCode both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of DraftCode's written reviews are positive against 50% of Arduino Bluetooth Pro's. DraftCode also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). Arduino Bluetooth Pro's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
