Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iNet Pro at 4.7 against BLE Terminal's 4.2. iNet Pro also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 56%) and ratings volume (744 vs 5). BLE Terminal's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
