Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bluetooth Controller at none against AirBoard's 1. Bluetooth Controller also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). AirBoard's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
