Verdict
Bubble Bust! and Bubble Shooter Rainbow both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Bubble Bust!'s written reviews are positive against 39% of Bubble Shooter Rainbow's. Bubble Bust! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Bubble Shooter Rainbow's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months).
