The Tag Manager Mobile app connects wirelessly to the Allflex RS420 stick reader, Allflex LPR reader and Drovers LPR reader. It allows you to very easily transfer session data from the reader and record it to the NLIS (Australia) and NAIT (New Zealand) animal database. Users can also email the scanned tags to a chosen email address. The app connects wirelessly to the supported stick reader via the built-in Bluetooth - no additional hardware required, and no need to connect the stick reader to a computer. Select sessions to download and transfer tags to your phone (or you can scan tags on the fly) and then transfer your data to the NLIS (Australia) or NAIT (New Zealand) animal database at the push of a button.

No sign-up, no tracking, no servers — your remote and your habits stay on your phone. GOOD TO KNOW Your phone and TV must be on the same Wi-Fi network. Some TV apps (like YouTube and Prime Video) use their own on-screen keyboards and don't accept typed text from any remote app. Waking a TV from full power-off may require a one-time setting on the TV — Beam walks you through it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beam at 100% against Tag Manager Mobile's 20%. Beam also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). Tag Manager Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
