Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Buzz.Me at none against Tessie's 17. Buzz.Me also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Tessie's advantage is ratings volume (9.6K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
