Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Ultimate Buzzer at none against iBuzz's 1. The Ultimate Buzzer also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 316). iBuzz's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 32%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
