Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: COGWA at none against Beyond Today's shown. COGWA also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Beyond Today's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and ratings volume (257 vs 24). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
