Verdict
PubPass and BeerPass App both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of BeerPass App's written reviews are positive against 52% of PubPass's. PubPass's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
