Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sunsama at 4.5 against CrazyBusy Tips's 3.0. Sunsama also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). CrazyBusy Tips's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sunsama holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sunsama has 517 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of CrazyBusy Tips's written reviews are positive against 50% of Sunsama's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CrazyBusy Tips ships an update every 4 months, Sunsama every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
