Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Red Bull Freestyle at none against Beat Maker's 7. Red Bull Freestyle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Beat Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 290). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Beat Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Red Bull Freestyle asks for nothing beyond the download.
Red Bull Freestyle holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beat Maker has 1.8K ratings behind it against 290, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Red Bull Freestyle's written reviews are positive against 39% of Beat Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
