Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SGS at free with in-app purchases against Beyond App's subscription. SGS also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Beyond App's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (971 vs 43). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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. Beyond App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per month and SGS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beyond App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beyond App has 971 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Beyond App's written reviews are positive against 50% of SGS's.
Beyond App ships an update every 4 weeks, SGS every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
