# Monkeyrama vs Bloons Pop!

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.

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.

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.

Monkeyrama ships an update monthly, Bloons Pop! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
