Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: IEEE Volta at none against Bombed's shown. IEEE Volta also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Bombed's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and ratings volume (13 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
