Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: BluetoothAssistant at free with in-app purchases against Storm Sniffer's subscription. BluetoothAssistant also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (1K vs 121). Storm Sniffer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BluetoothAssistant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Storm Sniffer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BluetoothAssistant holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BluetoothAssistant has 1K ratings behind it against 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of BluetoothAssistant's written reviews are positive against 78% of Storm Sniffer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
