Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Propel.IO at none against Beetle.io's 9. Propel.IO also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Beetle.io's advantage is ratings volume (144 vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
