Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PinDose AI at none against BeanCraft's 4. PinDose AI also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). BeanCraft's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
