Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stagey at none against BuzzBlast's 10. Stagey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). BuzzBlast's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
