Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlueNotify at none against Croissant's 3. BlueNotify also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.5). Croissant's advantage is ratings volume (200 vs 29). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Croissant sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. BlueNotify asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Croissant against 4.6 for BlueNotify. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Croissant has 200 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two.
