Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iTaxi Driver Go at none against BlePad's 1. iTaxi Driver Go also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). BlePad's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
