Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VSHealth at none against Bluetooth for Arduino's 5. VSHealth also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.5). Bluetooth for Arduino's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.
