Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MineGeon at none against Bumballon's shown. MineGeon also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 40%). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence 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
Both are free to download. MineGeon sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Bumballon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bumballon holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 194 and 162 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of MineGeon's written reviews are positive against 40% of Bumballon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MineGeon ships an update every 3 weeks, Bumballon fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
