Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BYLT Basics at none against Yerba Mate's shown. BYLT Basics also leads on ratings volume (8.4K vs 54). Yerba Mate's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
