Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: We Are Beacons at none against t4t's 1. We Are Beacons also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). t4t's advantage is ratings volume (238 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
