Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BrushBuddy at none against Brushout's 3. BrushBuddy also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.6). Brushout's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 23) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
