The official Rust companion app from Facepunch Studios – stay connected to the game so you never miss an important moment again. Coordinate with your team, receive alerts when you’re being raided, remotely set off traps, and more! Requires the Rust game - available on macOS and PC. Rust Console Edition is not supported at this time. PAIR WITH YOUR SERVERS Pair with your favorite Rust servers to receive real-time updates for the things that matter the most: player counts, current game time, online teammates, and more. You’ll also get (optional) push notifications whenever one of your teammates joins the game. EXPLORE THE MAP View the full server map to find points of interest, see where your teammates are and check on vending machines. You can also track ongoing events like the attack helicopter and cargo ship. KEEP UP WITH YOUR TEAM Communicate with your team from anywhere to just catch up or plan for your next raid. Messages are visible in both the app and the in-game team chat so you can seamlessly switch between the two.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BeastBurst at 100% against Rust+'s 51%. BeastBurst also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Rust+'s advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
