Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bubble at none against News Tracker's 1. Bubble also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). News Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
