# BuzzNow vs Never Saved

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Never Saved at 100% against BuzzNow's 71%. Never Saved also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BuzzNow's advantage is ratings volume (604 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BuzzNow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Never Saved sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
