Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Moblin at 76 against BEAM's 4. Moblin also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). BEAM's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BEAM sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Moblin sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BEAM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moblin has 76 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
BEAM ships an update every 5 weeks, Moblin every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
