Both are free to download. Paper.io 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Beads Art 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.
Paper.io 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paper.io 3D has 305K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Paper.io 3D's written reviews are positive against 67% of Beads Art 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Paper.io 3D ships an update weekly, Beads Art 3D every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
