# Faraday Test vs Beartooth MKII

The clearest difference is rating: Beartooth MKII at 3.0 against Faraday Test's 2.2. Faraday Test's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Beartooth MKII holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faraday Test has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Faraday Test's written reviews are positive against 0% of Beartooth MKII's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
