Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Balkonizer at none against FieldBus Toolkit's 1. Balkonizer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). FieldBus Toolkit's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
