Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BubbleX at 62% against Swapper's 17%. BubbleX also leads on rating (3.8 vs 1.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Swapper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 132). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swapper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BubbleX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BubbleX holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swapper has 6.3K ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Swapper's written reviews are positive against 62% of BubbleX's.
Swapper ships an update every 5 weeks, BubbleX every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
