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. WikiRaces 4 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Friend Game Buzzer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WikiRaces 4 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WikiRaces 4 has 1.9K ratings behind it against 288, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of WikiRaces 4's written reviews are positive against 44% of Friend Game Buzzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WikiRaces 4 ships an update monthly, Friend Game Buzzer every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
