# Mevo Studio vs BEAM

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.

Both are free to download. Mevo Studio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.00 per month and BEAM sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BEAM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mevo Studio has 2.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Mevo Studio ships an update every 9 days, BEAM every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
