The Pro-Leaf App works with the Pro-Leaf environmental Control System. This mobile phone software allows users to access multiple environmental controllers in the same account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pro at Free against BLE Terminal's $9.99. Pro also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). BLE Terminal's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
