Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BMS Tool at 3.9 against BBMSS's 1.0. BMS Tool also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). BBMSS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
