Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Better Buzz at none against FoodyDex's shown. Better Buzz also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). FoodyDex's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
