Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Resy at none against Beli's 83. Resy also leads on ratings volume (768K vs 17K). Beli's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Resy against 4.8 for Beli. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resy has 768K ratings behind it against 17K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Resy's written reviews are positive against 50% of Beli's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Resy ships an update every 2 weeks, Beli every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
