Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sidepots at 5.0 against BBs Viewer's 3.0. Sidepots also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). BBs Viewer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
