# The Ultimate Buzzer vs Talent Show Buzzer

The clearest difference is rating: The Ultimate Buzzer at 4.4 against Talent Show Buzzer's 3.7. The Ultimate Buzzer also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 18) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Talent Show Buzzer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (64% vs 32%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Ultimate Buzzer sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Talent Show Buzzer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Ultimate Buzzer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Ultimate Buzzer has 15K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of The Ultimate Buzzer's written reviews are positive against 64% of Talent Show Buzzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Ultimate Buzzer ships an update every 2 weeks, Talent Show Buzzer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
