Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dot Panic 2.0 at none against Bead Studio's 2. Dot Panic 2.0 also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Bead Studio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
