Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Monster Busters at 4.7 against Bubble Blitz's 4.1. Monster Busters also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 257). Bubble Blitz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Blitz sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Monster Busters sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Monster Busters holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Busters has 3.3K ratings behind it against 257, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Bubble Blitz's written reviews are positive against 72% of Monster Busters's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble Blitz ships an update every 3 weeks, Monster Busters every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
