Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Lightcraft Jetset at Free against Blackmagic BlueConnect's $5.99. Lightcraft Jetset also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (26 vs 6). Blackmagic BlueConnect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
