Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Beekeeper at 5.0 against HackerTracker's 4.2. Beekeeper also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). HackerTracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (47 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
