Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Digital Electronics Guide at 5.0 against BlueGrays's 4.2. Digital Electronics Guide also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). BlueGrays's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
