Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RBT BMS at none against BMS Tool's 1. RBT BMS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). BMS Tool's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
