Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Prime at 4.6K against Beads's 1. Beads's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Prime sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Beads sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beads holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prime has 4.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
