# Bust A Marble vs SUE

The clearest difference is rating: SUE at 5.0 against Bust A Marble's 4.1. SUE also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Bust A Marble's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (545 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bust A Marble sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. SUE asks for nothing beyond the download.

SUE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bust A Marble has 545 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Bust A Marble's written reviews are positive against 80% of SUE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
