Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Shooter at 4.6 against Bubble Buster's 3.9. Bubble Shooter also leads on ratings volume (489K vs 52) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bubble Buster sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Shooter sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bubble Shooter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Shooter has 489K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Bubble Buster's written reviews are positive against 60% of Bubble Shooter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bubble Buster ships an update every 6 weeks, Bubble Shooter every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
