Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Monkeyrama at none against Bloons Pop!'s shown. Monkeyrama also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Bloons Pop!'s advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 24) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Monkeyrama sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bloons Pop! sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bloons Pop! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloons Pop! has 16K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Monkeyrama's written reviews are positive against 73% of Bloons Pop!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Monkeyrama ships an update monthly, Bloons Pop! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
