Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spark at 100% against BeaconTV's 50%. Spark also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). BeaconTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (26 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BeaconTV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Spark sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Spark holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BeaconTV has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of BeaconTV's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spark's.
BeaconTV ships an update every 3 months, Spark monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
