The clearest difference is rating: GuessWise at 5.0 against iBuzz's 4.4. GuessWise also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). iBuzz's advantage is ratings volume (316 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iBuzz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GuessWise sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GuessWise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iBuzz has 316 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
