BLE Link browser lets you control your Bluetooth devices from a compatible web page that supports the Web Bluetooth specification. What is Web Bluetooth? Web Bluetooth is a specification developed by Web Bluetooth Community Group to enable web pages to communicate with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices using a compatible browser without the need to download a standalone App. Web developers need to integrate Web Bluetooth APIs into their web pages to interact with remote Bluetooth devices via BLE Link. How it works 1. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone 2. Open BLE Link and type the web page address that supports your Bluetooth device. This information is probably printed on your device's packaging box or mentioned in the device's manual. BLE Link supports secure HTTPS pages only 3. Follow the instructions on the web page to connect and start using your device 4. BLE Link supports background operation, so the web page can communicate with your device in the background as needed

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BLE Link at every 2 months against Messenger BLE's every 5 months. Messenger BLE's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
