Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SaveSound at 5.0 against Bluetooth Midi Controller's 4.3. SaveSound also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 33 months). Bluetooth Midi Controller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
