I've ended up using both too, just in different roles. For me BATC is better when I want online-style phraseology and more of that airline flow, but SayIntentions is still the easier one when I want GA or just a less managed IFR hop. I don't really see them as strict substitutes anymore, more like two tools that suit different nights.I've ended up using both too, just in different roles.

BTW I found the result of the Navigraph survey interesting. BATC outweighs market share of SI by a long shot.

The Navigraph survey results showing BATC ahead of SayIntentions (SI) make sense for - at least - two reasons. First, I think the data is likely biased toward IFR users, which is BATC's core strength, while their VFR support is still very (very) experimental. Second, the high cost of SayIntentions is a significant barrier for many.

As a user of both programs who flies strictly VFR, the price gap and IFR focus definitely skew those numbers.

I like SI more in regards to IFR flying. BATC for me feels more scripted
