Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GILMON at 5.0 against Buufen's 4.0. GILMON also leads on ratings volume (41 vs 1). Buufen's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (93% vs 85%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GILMON holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GILMON has 41 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of GILMON's written reviews are positive against 93% of Buufen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GILMON ships an update every 2 weeks, Buufen every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
