Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Seelbach's at free against The Party Source's free with in-app purchases. Seelbach's also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (863 vs 125). The Party Source's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). 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.
Seelbach's holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seelbach's has 863 ratings behind it against 125, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of The Party Source's written reviews are positive against 81% of Seelbach's's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Party Source ships an update every 2 months, Seelbach's every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.

The Party Source
Reported bugs
8 issues- App is egregiously slow, buggy, and lack of async makes it painful to use
- Lag is extremely extremely bad, like a 5 second hang delay where the app locks up because they aren't using async operations
- Issue when you want to remove items from your cart. If you swipe to delete it stays on this swiped action/delete for the items left in the cart until you fully exit/close the app and go back in.
- Tried to search my favorite cigar using the app and no products were found
- Needs an option to sort price high-low, low-high.
