Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dreambeans at every 4 days against SPECS's monthly. Dreambeans also leads on ratings volume (954 vs 13) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). SPECS's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
