Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 5 Second Rule at 4.7 against Buzzed's 4.0. 5 Second Rule also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 16) and chart position (#34 vs unranked). Buzzed's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 45%). 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. 5 Second Rule sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Buzzed sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
5 Second Rule holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5 Second Rule has 10K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of 5 Second Rule's written reviews are positive against 80% of Buzzed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
