Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My WebID at 4.4 against Beihilfe Bund's 1.0. My WebID also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (492 vs 8). Beihilfe Bund's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 46%). On price, ads, 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.
My WebID holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My WebID has 492 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Beihilfe Bund's written reviews are positive against 46% of My WebID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Beihilfe Bund ships an update every 3 months, My WebID fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
