Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Party.io at 4.6 against BombSquad Remote's 3.2. Party.io also leads on ratings volume (180K vs 585) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). BombSquad Remote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support 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. Party.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BombSquad Remote asks for nothing beyond the download.
Party.io holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Party.io has 180K ratings behind it against 585, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of BombSquad Remote's written reviews are positive against 40% of Party.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BombSquad Remote ships an update every 5 months, Party.io every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
