Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Workflowy at weekly against Beesy mobile's every 2 months. Workflowy also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 30). Beesy mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
