Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Beachsafe at 5.0 against Audiri's 3.5. Beachsafe also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Audiri's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (25 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
