Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BEAM at none against Mevo Studio's shown. BEAM also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mevo Studio's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
