Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BPS Mobile at every 3 months against BPS Focus's every 8 months. BPS Mobile also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 14%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.4). BPS Focus's advantage is ratings volume (262 vs 18). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
