Verdict

Both are free to download. Beastie Bay sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Seabeard sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Seabeard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seabeard has 3.2K ratings behind it against 168, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Beastie Bay's written reviews are positive against 72% of Seabeard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Beastie Bay ships an update every 3 months, Seabeard every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
