Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: YourBeacon at 4.3 against iN·Command's 1.9. YourBeacon also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). iN·Command's advantage is ratings volume (210 vs 31) and review sentiment (10% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
YourBeacon holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iN·Command has 210 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of iN·Command's written reviews are positive against 0% of YourBeacon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iN·Command ships an update every 7 months, YourBeacon every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
