Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: JBD BMS at 3.1 against Blue's 1.0. JBD BMS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). Blue's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 23%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Blue sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. JBD BMS asks for nothing beyond the download.
JBD BMS holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JBD BMS has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of JBD BMS's written reviews are positive against 50% of Blue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JBD BMS ships an update every 3 weeks, Blue monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
