Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bubble Explode at 79% against MitchiriNeko Bubble's 49%. Bubble Explode also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 328) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). MitchiriNeko Bubble's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Explode sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and MitchiriNeko Bubble sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MitchiriNeko Bubble holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Explode has 19K ratings behind it against 328, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Bubble Explode's written reviews are positive against 49% of MitchiriNeko Bubble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bubble Explode ships an update every 2 months, MitchiriNeko Bubble monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
