Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FluttrIn at Free against BLE Serial Pro's $3.99. FluttrIn also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). BLE Serial Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
