Verdict
Joggle Research and BuzzU both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of BuzzU's written reviews are positive against 33% of Joggle Research's. BuzzU also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Joggle Research's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
