Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GS Concretos at none against Beam Engineering lite's 1. GS Concretos also leads on ads (none vs shown). Beam Engineering lite's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 13 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
