Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ScareNetwork at 4.4 against BeaconTV's 3.9. ScareNetwork also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). BeaconTV's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
