Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WordCollapse at none against WordBubbles!'s shown. WordCollapse also leads on iOS requirement (9.3.5 vs 15.0). WordBubbles!'s advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 532) and chart position (#117 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WordCollapse sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and WordBubbles! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WordCollapse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4.
