Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BeenVerified at 4.6 against PAeDocket's 2.8. BeenVerified also leads on ratings volume (38K vs 204) and chart position (#36 vs #176). PAeDocket's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support 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. BeenVerified sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. PAeDocket asks for nothing beyond the download.
BeenVerified holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BeenVerified has 38K ratings behind it against 204, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of BeenVerified's written reviews are positive against 29% of PAeDocket's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BeenVerified ships an update every 3 weeks, PAeDocket weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
