Bean Pounder is the companion app for the Bean Pounder espresso machine controller. Connect directly to your Bean Pounder MCU over Bluetooth to create advanced pressure and flow profiles, control extractions, and monitor live brewing data. DESIGN PROFILES Build multi-step profiles with pressure or flow control, transition curves, restrictions, step-specific stop conditions, and profile-wide limits. Preview the complete profile before brewing and store profiles directly on your controller. BREW WITH LIVE FEEDBACK Start and stop shots while following pressure, pump flow, scale flow, weight, and phase progress in real time. ORGANIZE YOUR COFFEE Keep a local catalog of beans and recipes so every shot stays connected to the coffee and profile you used. REVIEW EVERY SHOT Use the brew ledger to review shot history and detailed telemetry traces. Compare target and actual values to understand each extraction and refine future profiles. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Bean Pounder contains no advertising or third-party analytics tracking. Your profiles, beans, recipes, brew history, and photos are stored locally and are not uploaded to a Bean Pounder server. A compatible Bean Pounder MCU and supported espresso-machine installation are required for Bluetooth controller access and live brewing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bean Pounder at none against Hangar's 2. Bean Pounder also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Hangar's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
