Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AxeModes at 5.0 against Beat Maker's 4.4. AxeModes also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Beat Maker's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 2) and price ($3.99 vs $4.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
