Verdict
Beam Benefits and HY both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 54% of HY's written reviews are positive against 14% of Beam Benefits's. HY also leads on ratings volume (38K vs 3.5K). Beam Benefits's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Beam Benefits against 4.8 for HY.

Written reviews are what separate them: 14% of Beam Benefits's written reviews are positive against 54% of HY's.
