# Bubble Shooter vs Bubble Tower 3D!

Bubble Shooter and Bubble Tower 3D! both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of Bubble Shooter's written reviews are positive against 49% of Bubble Tower 3D!'s. Bubble Shooter also leads on ratings volume (119K vs 22K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Shooter sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Tower 3D! sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bubble Shooter against 4.7 for Bubble Tower 3D!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Shooter has 119K ratings behind it against 22K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
