Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Buster at 3.9 against 100 Squares's 3.0. Bubble Buster also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (52 vs 1). 100 Squares's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and in-app purchases (none vs 15). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bubble Buster holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Buster has 52 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 100 Squares's written reviews are positive against 62% of Bubble Buster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

100 Squares ships an update every 21 months, Bubble Buster every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
