Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bubble Shooter at 100% against Shoot Bubbles's 52%. Bubble Shooter also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Shoot Bubbles's advantage is ratings volume (134K vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
