Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ToolBevy at 100% against BRmesh's 25%. ToolBevy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.4). BRmesh's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
