# Bubble Shooter vs Bubble Shooter Pop Multiplayer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bubble Shooter at 350K against Bubble Shooter Pop Multiplayer's 884. Bubble Shooter also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Bubble Shooter Pop Multiplayer's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 49%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Shooter sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Shooter Pop Multiplayer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Bubble Shooter against 4.6 for Bubble Shooter Pop Multiplayer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Shooter has 350K ratings behind it against 884, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Bubble Shooter's written reviews are positive against 64% of Bubble Shooter Pop Multiplayer's.
