# Buzz vs BopChat

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buzz at 50% against BopChat's 0%. Buzz also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). BopChat's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buzz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. BopChat asks for nothing beyond the download.

BopChat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buzz has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Buzz's written reviews are positive against 0% of BopChat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
