Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Alien at 4.5 against Beetlejuice's 4.1. Alien also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 73). Beetlejuice's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beetlejuice sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Alien sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Alien holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alien has 1.3K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Beetlejuice's written reviews are positive against 80% of Alien's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Beetlejuice ships an update fortnightly, Alien every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
