# Bubble Pop vs Bubble Duck Origin

Bubble Pop and Bubble Duck Origin both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Bubble Duck Origin's written reviews are positive against 60% of Bubble Pop's. Bubble Pop's advantage is ratings volume (326 vs 42) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Pop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Duck Origin sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Bubble Pop against 4.7 for Bubble Duck Origin. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Pop has 326 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Bubble Pop's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bubble Duck Origin's.
