Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beetle Tap at none against Humbug's 6. Beetle Tap also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months). Humbug's advantage is ratings volume (377 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
