Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BeeSpace at every 6 days against HiveTracks's every 5 weeks. BeeSpace also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). HiveTracks's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. HiveTracks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and BeeSpace sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BeeSpace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HiveTracks has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of HiveTracks's written reviews are positive against 100% of BeeSpace's.
HiveTracks ships an update every 5 weeks, BeeSpace every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
