The clearest difference is rating: Needuum at 5.0 against Beckett Mobile's 4.5. Needuum also leads on ads (none vs shown). Beckett Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 1) and chart position (#198 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
