# Buzzer vs Game Show Buzzer

The clearest difference is price: Game Show Buzzer at Free against Buzzer's $1.99. Game Show Buzzer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Buzzer's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 18%) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Game Show Buzzer is free to download; Buzzer costs $1.99 up front. Buzzer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Game Show Buzzer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Game Show Buzzer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Buzzer's written reviews are positive against 18% of Game Show Buzzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Buzzer ships an update every 23 months, Game Show Buzzer every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
