Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TelinkBleOTA at none against BMS Tool's 1. TelinkBleOTA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.2). BMS Tool's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
