# Puzzleby vs Bubble Word Jam

The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Word Jam at 4.7 against Puzzleby's 4.2. Bubble Word Jam also leads on ratings volume (64K vs 5) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). Puzzleby's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 15.0). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Word Jam sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Puzzleby asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bubble Word Jam holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Word Jam has 64K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Puzzleby's written reviews are positive against 65% of Bubble Word Jam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
