Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Beartooth MKII at 3.0 against AntScope's 2.3. AntScope's advantage is review sentiment (23% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Beartooth MKII holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AntScope has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of AntScope's written reviews are positive against 0% of Beartooth MKII's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AntScope ships an update every 2 months, Beartooth MKII every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
