The clearest difference is rating: Model610 at 4.7 against BlueBeast's 4.3. Model610 also leads on device support and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 11.0). BlueBeast's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Model610 costs $19.99 and BlueBeast $19.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Model610 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Model610's written reviews are positive against 100% of BlueBeast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
