Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: blüüm at 100% against Beyond's 50%. blüüm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 15). Beyond's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (200 vs 3). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
