Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Amber iX at none against BeePhotos's shown. Amber iX also leads on rating (3.4 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). BeePhotos's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 18%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Amber iX holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Amber iX's written reviews are positive against 50% of BeePhotos's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Amber iX ships an update every 2 months, BeePhotos every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
