Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sidequest at none against Beeper's 4. Sidequest also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Beeper's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). 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. Sidequest asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sidequest 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
