Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minesweeper at none against Bubbler's 1. Minesweeper also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 20 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 27.0). Bubbler's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
