Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Smart Battery Connection at none against BMS Tool's 1. Smart Battery Connection also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.2). BMS Tool's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
