Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Beam at free against Jetstar's ad-supported. Beam also leads on ratings volume (6.5K vs 764) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Beam holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beam has 6.5K ratings behind it against 764, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 53% and 54% positive.
Jetstar ships an update every 6 weeks, Beam every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
