Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BeeSpace at free with in-app purchases against The Beartaria Times's subscription. BeeSpace also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). The Beartaria Times's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Beartaria Times sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $15.49 per year and BeeSpace sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for The Beartaria Times against 5.0 for BeeSpace. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Beartaria Times has 2.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 96% of The Beartaria Times's written reviews are positive against 100% of BeeSpace's.
The Beartaria Times ships an update every 2 months, BeeSpace every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
