Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HEX the App at none against BeMyDisplay's 1. HEX the App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). BeMyDisplay's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
