# Beastie Bay vs Seabeard

The clearest difference is rating: Seabeard at 4.7 against Beastie Bay's 4.3. Seabeard also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 168). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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.

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.

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.
