Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: fi light at 101 against Bluetooth's 2. fi light also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). Bluetooth's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (3.0 vs 2.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
