Let's Duck is a little pixel duck that lives on your Apple Watch and moves with you. I made it because most fitness apps made me feel like I was always behind. Rings to close, streaks to protect, numbers that turn red. I wanted something that just felt nice to open. So there's no score to keep up with here. The duck is simply happy when you move, and happy to see you when you don't. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING SPECIAL Already use Apple's Workout app, or another app that saves to Apple Health? Your duck picks those workouts up on its own and counts them as its own. You don't have to change how you work out or remember to start anything. Just open the app now and then and say hi. NO PRESSURE, REALLY Take a week off and nothing breaks. Your duck won't sulk. It'll just be glad you're back. If you turn on reminders, they're gentle nudges like "lunch loop if you feel like it", and they skip the days you've already moved. Rest days are part of it. WHAT THE DUCK DOES • Comes along on walks, runs, swims, rides, yoga, strength and lots more, waddling through its own little world while you go • Cheers your small wins with a happy hop • Draws a map of your outdoor workouts, colored by pace, and lets you press play to watch it waddle the whole route again • Shows the stats that matter after a workout: time, distance, heart rate, pace and calories • Breathes with you: rest a finger on the screen for a calm minute on a night pond, with gentle taps for each breath in and out • Gets visitors now and then, like a frog, a hedgehog or another duck, and the odd small wonder like a rainbow or a family of ducklings • Lives on your watch face too, through complications and widgets Everything you record is saved to Apple Health. No account, no sign-up, no ads. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL EXTRA Tracking workouts with your duck is free for everyone. If you'd like to support the app, a one-time Premium purchase unlocks every outfit and color, your full history and the achievements gallery. No subscription. Let's Duck is made by one person. If you have an idea or something isn't working right, I'd love to hear from you through the review. Hope your duck makes your day a little lighter.

Bean turns your health into a fitness game. Walk, run, or bike in the real world. Your quests get crushed, your character levels up, and rewards roll in. "Cute outfits and I love the overlay." (App Store review) DAILY QUESTS Every day brings three quest tiers (Easy, Normal, Hard) for walking, running, and biking: 5,000, 10,000, or 15,000 steps for walking, 1.5, 3, or 6 miles for running, and 3, 9.5, or 18.5 miles for biking. Kilometers if you prefer: 2.5, 5, or 10 for running and 5, 15, or 30 for biking. Complete them to earn Beans and XP. Everything comes from Apple Health, so there is nothing extra to track. KEEP YOUR STARS UP Your buddy has a star bar of up to 7 stars. Finish a Normal or Hard quest and you gain a star. Finish only Easy and you hold the stars you have. Finish nothing and you lose one. Keep 3 or more for 1.5x Beans on quests, or fill all 7 for 2x. YOUR CHARACTER Play as Bean or Pea, two pixel-art buddies you can switch between any time. Dress them in hats, hair, eyewear, face items, tops, bottoms, backgrounds, pets, and effects. Every item is bought outright with Beans, so you always pick exactly what you want. No pulls, no luck-only walls. MISSIONS Limited-time events with a ladder of daily movement goals. Every stage you reach unlocks a cosmetic you keep for good. COMPETE Start or join a walking, running, or biking challenge with friends, pick how long it runs, and see who moves the most. Free to enter, no stakes. FARM Team up with friends on a shared farm of up to 30 members. Pool your Beans to unlock land, and every plot you unlock boosts the Beans everyone earns from quests. Spend the pool on animals, decorations, and ground tiles, and lay them out together. FRIENDS Add friends and see how your weekly and monthly records compare. CAPTURE A YEAR IN ONE SECOND Record a 1-second moment from your favorite part of the day and stitch them into a highlight reel anytime. Your moments are backed up to your account, and the friends you add can watch them. WIDGETS Keep your buddy and today's quest progress on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. FREE TO DOWNLOAD, NO SUBSCRIPTION Bean is free to download, with no subscription and no trial to cancel. Quests, missions, challenges, friends, farms, and widgets are all free. You earn Beans by finishing quests, finding Bean in the daily puzzle, and watching optional ads. If you want more, optional Bean Packs are one-time purchases: 60 Beans for $1.99, 170 for $4.99, 375 for $9.99, 800 for $19.99, or 2,200 for $49.99 (US prices). WHAT MAKES IT BEAN. A character to dress. Friends to compare with. A one-second clip to capture. A star bar you would rather not break. The little hooks that make you actually want to lace up again tomorrow.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Let's duck at none against Bean's shown. Bean's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 days) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Let's duck sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bean sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Let's duck against 5.0 for Bean. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bean has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Let's duck ships an update every 3 days, Bean daily. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
