Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Alien at 4.5 against BEYOND Touch™'s 3.4. Alien also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and chart position (#208 vs unranked). BEYOND Touch™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support 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. Alien sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BEYOND Touch™ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Alien holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alien has 1.3K ratings behind it against 226, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of BEYOND Touch™'s written reviews are positive against 80% of Alien's.
BEYOND Touch™ ships an update every 3 weeks, Alien every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
