Verdict
Bean Boy and Monkey Ropes both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Bean Boy's written reviews are positive against 48% of Monkey Ropes's. Bean Boy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Monkey Ropes's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 47) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
