Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Fudget at none against Save buddy's shown. Fudget also leads on chart position (#110 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). Save buddy's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
