# CZEview vs Beacon

The clearest difference is update cadence: Beacon at every 8 days against CZEview's every 2 months. Beacon also leads on ratings volume (467 vs 7). CZEview's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CZEview sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Beacon sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for CZEview against 4.9 for Beacon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beacon has 467 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of CZEview's written reviews are positive against 92% of Beacon's.

CZEview ships an update every 2 months, Beacon every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
