Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beach TV at 93% against Beachfront Only's 50%. Beach TV also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Beachfront Only's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (102 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Beachfront Only holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beachfront Only has 102 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Beach TV's written reviews are positive against 50% of Beachfront Only's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
