Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Pearl App at every 8 days against beestat's every 8 months. beestat's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (209 vs 11). 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
beestat holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: beestat has 209 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of The Pearl App's written reviews are positive against 98% of beestat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Pearl App ships an update every 8 days, beestat every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
