# Buzz vs FirstBlastit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FirstBlastit at 100% against Buzz's 50%. FirstBlastit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.0). Buzz's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buzz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and FirstBlastit sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
