Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BrushBuddy at 82% against Hygiene's 36%. BrushBuddy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Hygiene's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support 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. Hygiene sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. BrushBuddy asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hygiene holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BrushBuddy has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of BrushBuddy's written reviews are positive against 36% of Hygiene's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BrushBuddy ships an update daily, Hygiene every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
