Unlike traditional design tools where you have to define nodes and elements to model your structure, iBeams Pro let's you work like you normally do. You sketch out your beam and loads like you would on a design pad, and instantly view shear, moment, deflection and reactions diagrams. It is very easy to modify and view variations, and you can rapidly analyze several beams in a matter of minutes rather than hours, allowing you to finish your designs more rapidly than ever before. The file format is compatible with iBeams Pro for macOS. Features include: • Beam diagrams with multiple loads and supports, and the corresponding shear, moment, deflection, and reaction diagrams • User editable properties • Imperial and S.I. (metric) units • Editable material and section properties (ships with AISC, BS5950, CISC, and AS/NZS databases) • Multiple supports • Multiple loads • Joints and Moment Releases • Annotations • synchronize preferences and property settings between macOS and iOS versions of this application • support for storing documents on Cloud shares

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Stelar at Free against iBeams Pro's $21.99. Stelar also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
