The short answer
SkinGuru is listed around an AI scan, a chat framed as an “AI dermatologist,” buying products, an ingredient check and mole tracking. Beeuty is listed around one selfie, a zone map and ingredients. They overlap on “AI skin.” They are not the same job.
US App Store figures are as of October 2026. We do not invent an onboarding step count. We do not treat “skin pathology” or “AI dermatologist” screenshot lines as a medical service. Official social accounts were not confirmed.
What each app actually is
SkinGuru (“AI Skin Scanner - SkinGuru”) is published by Conlan Limited. On the US App Store as of October 2026 it shows a 4.00 rating from 747 ratings, version 1.0.25 dated 16 July 2026, and in-app purchases of weekly $9.99 and yearly $69.99. Store screenshots, summarised at concept level, lead with an AI scan and “skin pathology” language, an “AI dermatologist” chat, product buying, an ingredient check and mole tracking. Newest US reviews often mention a fast answer; they also mention wrong results and difficulty cancelling. We have not walked the in-app cancel path. We found no company-reported revenue we could cite.
Beeuty (“AI Skin & Face Scanner: beeuty”) is an iPhone and iPad app (iOS 16.4 or later). One selfie produces a 0–100 skin score, an estimated skin age (Glow Age), skin type and phototype, and a face map of blemishes, pores and texture, fine lines, sun damage, hydration and redness. It builds an ingredient-led routine, offers an ingredient guide and a label-reading Ingredient Check, and keeps history. Free to download with optional PRO; analysis photos deleted after 30 days; results stated to be cosmetic estimates, not diagnoses. Beeuty does not sell a product catalogue.

Where SkinGuru is the better choice
- A larger US rating base. 747 ratings at 4.00 is a longer public record than Beeuty has.
- Chat plus in-app buying is what the store screens lead with, alongside mole tracking. Beeuty does not sell a catalogue and does not advertise mole tracking as a product.
- A fast answer is the theme current US reviews still praise.
Where Beeuty is the better choice
- A stated photo policy. Deleted after 30 days. We could not find SkinGuru’s period.
- A zone map, not a pathology label. Beeuty maps visible concerns and says the results are cosmetic. See the blemish map.
- Brand-neutral ingredients. The Ingredient Check reads a label you already own; it is not a shop.
- Clear cosmetic framing. Beeuty states it is not a medical device. For moles and anything that worries you, the comparison that matters is app versus a dermatologist.
Who should pick which
Pick SkinGuru if you want scan-plus-chat and in-app buying as shown on the US screens, and you are comfortable reading the live listing first.
Pick Beeuty if you are on iPhone or iPad and you want a whole-face map and ingredient-level advice without a catalogue.
US reviews that mention wrong results or cancel difficulty are real comments from real accounts, not a lab finding. A changing mole still belongs with a clinician, not with either app.
Looking for a SkinGuru alternative?
If you wanted SkinGuru’s scan-and-chat flow and found the store’s clinical-sounding language or the review themes a poor fit, Beeuty starts from a cosmetic selfie map. If you wanted mole tracking or in-app buying, Beeuty will not replace those. See also Beeuty vs SkinIQ AI and Beeuty vs Thea.
