Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TSTR Bluetooth at none against Blue Switch's 1. TSTR Bluetooth also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Blue Switch's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 70 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
