Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bubbly at none against Listful's 4. Bubbly also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Listful's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 9) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Listful holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Listful has 26K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Bubbly's written reviews are positive against 79% of Listful's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
