Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beenovel at 44% against PlotFun's 0%. Beenovel also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). PlotFun's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Beenovel sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and PlotFun sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PlotFun holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beenovel has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Beenovel's written reviews are positive against 0% of PlotFun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Beenovel ships an update every 2 months, PlotFun fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
