Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beamafilm at 80% against hmvod's 0%. Beamafilm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). hmvod's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, 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
Both are free to download. hmvod sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Beamafilm sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beamafilm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beamafilm has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of hmvod's written reviews are positive against 80% of Beamafilm's.
hmvod ships an update every 4 weeks, Beamafilm every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
