# Shoot Bubble vs Bubble Bust! Blitz

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shoot Bubble at 82% against Bubble Bust! Blitz's 13%. Shoot Bubble also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Bubble Bust! Blitz's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shoot Bubble sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bubble Bust! Blitz sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Bust! Blitz holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shoot Bubble has 827 ratings behind it against 145, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Shoot Bubble's written reviews are positive against 13% of Bubble Bust! Blitz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Shoot Bubble ships an update every 2 months, Bubble Bust! Blitz every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
