Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Oil Miner at 4.5 against Beaver Builder's 3.8. Oil Miner also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 189) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Beaver Builder's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 8%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Oil Miner sells 6 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.
Oil Miner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oil Miner has 19K ratings behind it against 189, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Oil Miner'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.
Oil Miner ships an update every 3 weeks, Beaver Builder every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
