Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lucky Me at none against SwitchBuddy's 8. Lucky Me also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). SwitchBuddy's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SwitchBuddy sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Lucky Me asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lucky Me holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SwitchBuddy has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SwitchBuddy ships an update every 3 weeks, Lucky Me every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
