Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blip at every 5 weeks against EagleView's every 7 months. Blip also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 1). EagleView's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (9.3.5 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
