Verdict

The call

BuzzStar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (80% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

E.P.I.C. Studios holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: E.P.I.C. Studios has 12K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of BuzzStar's written reviews are positive against 70% of E.P.I.C. Studios's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BuzzStar ships an update weekly, E.P.I.C. Studios every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
