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 in-app purchases: MonRun at none against Bean's 5. MonRun also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
