Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reach Bluetooth Analyzer at none against Visual File Editor's 1. Reach Bluetooth Analyzer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). Visual File Editor's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
