Verdict

The call

Beni and HelloTigerSwap both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of HelloTigerSwap's written reviews are positive against 84% of Beni's. HelloTigerSwap also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). Beni's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (87 vs 10). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
