Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Idle Maggots at 4.7 against Beaver Builder's 3.8. Idle Maggots also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 181). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Idle Maggots sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Beaver Builder sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Idle Maggots holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Maggots has 6.2K ratings behind it against 181, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Idle Maggots's written reviews are positive against 39% of Beaver Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Idle Maggots ships an update every 5 days, Beaver Builder every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
