Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buzz at 100% against British Vogue's 31%. Buzz also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). British Vogue's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. British Vogue sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Buzz asks for nothing beyond the download.
British Vogue holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: British Vogue has 806 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of British Vogue's written reviews are positive against 100% of Buzz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
British Vogue ships an update every 2 months, Buzz every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
