Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Plurk at 4.7 against BePTT's 2.9. Plurk also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 21%) and ratings volume (542 vs 23). BePTT's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plurk sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and BePTT sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Plurk holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plurk has 542 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Plurk's written reviews are positive against 21% of BePTT's.
Plurk ships an update every 9 days, BePTT every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
