Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bee at 5.0 against OASA's 2.5. Bee also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.5). OASA's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
