Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: YourBeacon at 4.3 against Pacific Power's 1.8. Pacific Power's advantage is ratings volume (182 vs 31) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
YourBeacon holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pacific Power has 182 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Pacific Power's written reviews are positive against 0% of YourBeacon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pacific Power ships an update every 6 months, YourBeacon every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
