Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AIRVO 2 at none against BiliBuddy's 1. AIRVO 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown). BiliBuddy's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (258 vs 8). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
