Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BM Counter at 4.1 against iTransfuse's 3.3. BM Counter also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). iTransfuse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 72 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BM Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iTransfuse's written reviews are positive against 86% of BM Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
