Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mana Monsters at 4.7 against Bulu Monster's 4.3. Bulu Monster's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Bulu Monster sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Mana Monsters sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mana Monsters holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.9K and 936 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Bulu Monster's written reviews are positive against 59% of Mana Monsters's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bulu Monster ships an update weekly, Mana Monsters every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
