Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: diSwitch at none against Bluetooth for Arduino's 5. diSwitch also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). Bluetooth for Arduino's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 23 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
