Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BiteGrade at none against Bass Thumb AI's shown. Bass Thumb AI's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
