# YoIM vs Beeper

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YoIM at none against Beeper's 4. YoIM also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Beeper's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beeper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. YoIM asks for nothing beyond the download.

YoIM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beeper has 1.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of YoIM's written reviews are positive against 71% of Beeper's.

YoIM ships an update every 2 days, Beeper every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
