Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: AFrame Pro at every 5 weeks against Continuous Beam's every 19 months. AFrame Pro also leads on price ($4.99 vs $9.99). Continuous Beam's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
