# BeProg vs Royal Message

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Royal Message at 100% against BeProg's 36%. Royal Message also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). BeProg's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BeProg sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Royal Message sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BeProg holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of BeProg's written reviews are positive against 100% of Royal Message's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BeProg ships an update monthly, Royal Message every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
