# Buzz vs BeMeme

The clearest difference is ads: Buzz at none against BeMeme's shown. BeMeme's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence 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 BeMeme sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Buzz ships an update every 3 weeks, BeMeme every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
