# Beads.io vs People Flow

The clearest difference is ads: Beads.io at none against People Flow's shown. Beads.io also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 6%) and ratings volume (8.3K vs 1K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beads.io sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and People Flow sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Beads.io against 4.6 for People Flow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beads.io has 8.3K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 26% of Beads.io's written reviews are positive against 6% of People Flow's.

Beads.io ships an update every 5 days, People Flow every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
