Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BluetoothAssistant at 4.2 against BLE UART's 3.7. BluetoothAssistant also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). BLE UART's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
