Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SumBuddy at none against Billy's 3. SumBuddy also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Billy's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
