Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: been at none against been's shown. been also leads on ratings volume (9.3K vs 162) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). been's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 59%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for been against 4.6 for been. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: been has 9.3K ratings behind it against 162, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of been's written reviews are positive against 77% of been's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

been ships an update every 2 weeks, been every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
