# Bubble Shoot Magic vs Shoot Bubble

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bubble Shoot Magic at 1.5K against Shoot Bubble's 31. Bubble Shoot Magic also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Shoot Magic sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Shoot Bubble sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Shoot Magic holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Shoot Magic has 1.5K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Bubble Shoot Magic's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shoot Bubble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bubble Shoot Magic ships an update every 2 months, Shoot Bubble monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
