Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IVS Beam at 5.0 against Avkin's 4.7. IVS Beam also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Avkin's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
