Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reactly at 5.0 against Buzz's 4.4. Reactly also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Buzz's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Buzz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Reactly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reactly 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Buzz ships an update every 3 weeks, Reactly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
