Be Native's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (18.4 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Be Native sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and Palabros sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
