# Buzz vs Co

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Co at none against Buzz's 10. Co also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%). Buzz's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 16). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

Co holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buzz has 1.5K ratings behind it against 16, 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 75% of Co's.

Buzz ships an update every 3 weeks, Co every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
