Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flash Studio at 4.8 against BACDoor™'s 3.5. Flash Studio also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 6). BACDoor™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
