Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iTransfer at 52% against Bluetooth's 0%. iTransfer also leads on rating (4.1 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (215 vs 20). Bluetooth's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
