Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Votice at weekly against LaunchBuddy's every 5 weeks. Votice also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). LaunchBuddy's advantage is ratings volume (107 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LaunchBuddy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Votice sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
