Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: HelloTigerSwap at free against Beni's free with in-app purchases. HelloTigerSwap also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Beni's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (86 vs 10). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HelloTigerSwap holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beni has 86 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Beni's written reviews are positive against 100% of HelloTigerSwap's.
Beni ships an update weekly, HelloTigerSwap fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
