# Bubble Mania™ vs Bubble Cloud

The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Cloud at 4.7 against Bubble Mania™'s 4.1. Bubble Cloud also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 41%) and ratings volume (64K vs 5.1K). Bubble Mania™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Mania™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Cloud sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1.
