Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ArduinoBlue at 4.5 against Arduino BT Controller's 2.0. ArduinoBlue also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 50%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Arduino BT Controller's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 9 months). On price there is nothing between them.
