Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blecon at 5.0 against Push Notification's 4.1. Blecon also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Push Notification's advantage is ratings volume (58 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
