Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BEPILOT A1 at 3.6 against AOCHUAN's 2.9. BEPILOT A1 also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). AOCHUAN's advantage is review sentiment (23% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BEPILOT A1 holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AOCHUAN has 117 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of BEPILOT A1's written reviews are positive against 23% of AOCHUAN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BEPILOT A1 ships an update every 3 months, AOCHUAN every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
