I have pro on both and like both. Is there some criteria others have used in the past to pick their favorite? They seem so similar to me. Does one have a killer feature the other does not?

    Avelon, cuz it’s actually still being actively developed. I was excited about Bean and the excitement ended rather quickly when the development halted. If it picks back up it could take over. There’s a few that could do that though.

    If I can’t mark as read and hide as I scroll, I don’t come back to the app until new development has happened.

      The last Bean release was one month ago. I would not judge that as development that is dead.

      I do notice that Avelon seems to update quicker and refresh quicker than Bean, but I’m not sure if that’s just perception

        I’ve had interaction with both developers. The Bean one disappeared as soon as they offered a pay model. I know that one of the people that work with them provided an update, but I just didn’t like how that all went. It’s a great app though. Avelon just currently has more of everything that I want.

          Thanks for the reminder, cancelled my subscription. Just had it for notifications, but Lemmios has them for free.

              Really been liking Arctic! The app is very fast and the dev is very responsive.

            Yeah I currently use Lemmios for that too alongside Avelon. Avelon just introduced them in the TestFlight though.

              Ah, seems like one of the few I’m not on test flight for.

              Edit: on it now

          Good to know. I’ll keep an eye on it. There is something about the visual presentation of Bean that I prefer. If Mlem let me only focus on unread and mark read as I scroll, I think it would be my preferred client. The developer won’t do it, but until the Lemmy API allows for marking several real posts as read at a time. I guess it’s too inefficient if not.

      En general, yo trato de probarlos todos, pero casi siempre uno descubre que hay unos cuantos que son los ganadores y el resto es más de lo mismo.

        Did you translate that to Spanish for me? That’s sweet.

        I don’t actually speak Spanish though, I was just adapting the “why not both” meme. I even had to lookup catorce

    Now neither devs are affecting updates. I had went from Bean to Avelon, then it became paid and I paid for 2 months but now I’m not sure I’ll keep paying unless some bugs are fixed.
