Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beat Length Calculator at 100% against Sail Score's 38%. Beat Length Calculator also leads on price (Free vs $4.99). Sail Score's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases 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
Beat Length Calculator is free to download; Sail Score costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sail Score holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Sail Score's written reviews are positive against 100% of Beat Length Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
