# Project Peon vs Bead Tower

Project Peon and Bead Tower both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Project Peon's written reviews are positive against 11% of Bead Tower's. Project Peon also leads on ads (none vs shown). Bead Tower's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Project Peon sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Bead Tower sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bead Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bead Tower has 2.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Project Peon's written reviews are positive against 11% of Bead Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Project Peon ships an update every 2 weeks, Bead Tower every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
