Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Forest Rescue at none against BubblePop Max's shown. Forest Rescue also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 18.0). BubblePop Max's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
