Verdict
Beachwaver Co. and PHILIP B. both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PHILIP B.'s written reviews are positive against 68% of Beachwaver Co.'s. PHILIP B. also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Beachwaver Co.'s advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 58) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
