YOU HOLD THE KEYS • Private keys never leave your device. You control them. • Create as many wallets as you like, or import one with its recovery phrase. • Open source and MIT licensed. Read the code or build it yourself. COLD STORAGE AND MULTISIG • Watch-only wallets: follow your cold storage with just the public key. • Hardware wallet signing: build the payment on your phone, sign the PSBT on your device, broadcast from BlueWallet. • Multisig Vaults: require more than one key to spend.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlueWallet at none against PayTime's 1. BlueWallet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
