Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beam at none against makemypost's 5. Beam also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (200 vs 7). makemypost's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Beam holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beam has 200 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of makemypost's written reviews are positive against 87% of Beam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

makemypost ships an update every 2 weeks, Beam every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
