Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vortopt at none against BMS Tool's 1. Vortopt also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). BMS Tool's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
