Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Leupold Control at Free against BLE Relay Bluetooth's $2.99. Leupold Control also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). BLE Relay Bluetooth's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
