# Beeper vs Proximity Live

Beeper and Proximity Live both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Proximity Live's written reviews are positive against 71% of Beeper's. Beeper's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 11). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beeper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Proximity Live sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Beeper against 4.7 for Proximity Live. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beeper has 1K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Beeper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Proximity Live's.
