Like pacman frogs, female budgett's frog is the much larger of the two sexes. In my opinion I think budgett's frogs in general eat more than pacman frogs. Perhaps because they use more energy swimming around (?) as oppose to pacman usually sitting there like a permanent statue. Budgett's frog also has a immense appetite that I have to control on much she eats. I know if I kept offering food my budgett will eat until she explode. Whereas pacman frogs will typically control how much they eat. At least with mine if they're full they will stop eating even if I kept offering. No means no.

Keep in mind that budgett's frog care may be a little more rigorous due to the periodic water change and tank, decor cleaning, etc. Other than that, they are attractive (how can you say no to a face that only their mother would love) and have wonderful personality. Just don't let them bite you.
