Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bluestream Media at none against Zoel's 4. Bluestream Media also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Zoel's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
