Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BugSplosion at none against Animash's 10. BugSplosion also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Animash's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 45 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 6). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Animash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Animash has 15K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of BugSplosion's written reviews are positive against 82% of Animash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BugSplosion ships an update every 45 months, Animash every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
