Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Better Buzz at none against Pulled Coffee's 9. Better Buzz also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 5) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). Pulled Coffee's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 68%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
