Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BCBSTX at 4.8 against myBlue's 2.0. BCBSTX also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 141) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). myBlue's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BCBSTX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BCBSTX has 45K ratings behind it against 141, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of BCBSTX's written reviews are positive against 24% of myBlue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BCBSTX ships an update fortnightly, myBlue every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
