The clearest difference is rating: Tracepad at 4.3 against Bluetouch™'s 3.6. Tracepad also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Bluetouch™'s advantage is ratings volume (169 vs 16). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
