Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Beam On at Free against Ghost Panic's $1.99. Beam On also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 17 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Ghost Panic's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
