Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IMDbPro at 4.6 against BeScene's 3.7. IMDbPro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 61). BeScene's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BeScene sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. IMDbPro asks for nothing beyond the download.
IMDbPro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IMDbPro has 2.7K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of IMDbPro's written reviews are positive against 50% of BeScene's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IMDbPro ships an update every 2 weeks, BeScene weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
