Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beem at 58% against Mobile Pay's 19%. Beem also leads on ratings volume (154 vs 1). Mobile Pay's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mobile Pay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beem has 154 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Beem's written reviews are positive against 19% of Mobile Pay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Beem ships an update every 2 months, Mobile Pay monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
