# Buzz vs Wizz App

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wizz App at 303K against Buzz's 1.5K. Wizz App also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). Buzz's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (50% vs 42%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buzz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Wizz App sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Buzz holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wizz App has 303K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Buzz's written reviews are positive against 42% of Wizz App's.

Buzz ships an update every 3 weeks, Wizz App weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
