Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Square Bird at 4.7 against Swipe Bomb's 3.5. Square Bird also leads on ratings volume (106K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Swipe Bomb's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 76%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swipe Bomb sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Square Bird sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Square Bird holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Bird has 106K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Swipe Bomb's written reviews are positive against 76% of Square Bird'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 monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
