# DateMe vs Buzz!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buzz! at 67% against DateMe's 5%. Buzz! also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.9) and ads (none vs shown). DateMe's advantage is ratings volume (134 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Buzz! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.9.
