# Muse vs Breathe Bubbles

The clearest difference is rating: Breathe Bubbles at 5.0 against Muse's 4.0. Breathe Bubbles also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 13 months). Muse's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Breathe Bubbles sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Muse asks for nothing beyond the download.

Breathe Bubbles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Muse's written reviews are positive against 90% of Breathe Bubbles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Muse ships an update every 13 months, Breathe Bubbles weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
