# HackerTracker vs Beekeeper

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.

Both are free to download. Beekeeper sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. HackerTracker asks for nothing beyond the download.

Beekeeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HackerTracker has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
