Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WordPress at 4.6 against Bean Tracker's 4.0. WordPress also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). Bean Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 37%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WordPress holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordPress has 22K ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of WordPress's written reviews are positive against 53% of Bean Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WordPress ships an update every 3 weeks, Bean Tracker every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
