ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

beean holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coffi has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Coffi's written reviews are positive against 50% of beean's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Coffi ships an update every 10 days, beean every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
