Deadline shows how much time is left before what matters: every deadline gets a progress bar that fills up day by day. Follow your deadlines in interactive widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, in Live Activities and Dynamic Island, and get notifications right on time. View deadlines in List or Columns mode, sort them into categories, pin the important ones and add notes. Deadline works on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch and syncs through iCloud.

The clearest difference is device support: Deadline App at 4 against Befora's 1. Befora's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
