# iZumas vs Bubble Pop

The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Pop at 4.7 against iZumas's 4.2. Bubble Pop also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 63%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). iZumas's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iZumas sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bubble Pop sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Pop holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Pop has 8.9K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of iZumas's written reviews are positive against 94% of Bubble Pop's.

iZumas ships an update every 3 months, Bubble Pop fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
