Both are free to download. Tower Buster sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Bubble Swirl asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bubble Swirl holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tower Buster has 16K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Bubble Swirl's written reviews are positive against 47% of Tower Buster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bubble Swirl ships an update every 5 months, Tower Buster every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
