The clearest difference is review sentiment: Estimote UWB at 100% against OpenTerm's 44%. Estimote UWB also leads on price (Free vs $4.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 1).

Estimote UWB is free to download; OpenTerm costs $4.99 up front. OpenTerm sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Estimote UWB asks for nothing beyond the download.
OpenTerm holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenTerm has 190 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of OpenTerm's written reviews are positive against 100% of Estimote UWB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
