Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buzz at 100% against GalleriesNow's 54%. Buzz also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). GalleriesNow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GalleriesNow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.95 per month. Buzz asks for nothing beyond the download.
GalleriesNow holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of GalleriesNow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Buzz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GalleriesNow ships an update fortnightly, Buzz every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
