Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bruvi at none against Tovala's shown. Bruvi also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tovala's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 12) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tovala holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tovala has 12K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Tovala's written reviews are positive against 50% of Bruvi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tovala ships an update fortnightly, Bruvi monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
