# Bubble Mania™ vs Bubble Seasons™

The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Mania™ at 4.1 against Bubble Seasons™'s 3.7. Bubble Mania™ also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 12). Bubble Seasons™'s advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 41%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Mania™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Seasons™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Mania™ holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Mania™ has 5.1K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Bubble Mania™'s written reviews are positive against 63% of Bubble Seasons™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bubble Mania™ ships an update every 4 weeks, Bubble Seasons™ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
