# Screw Jam vs Bubble Jam

The clearest difference is ads: Screw Jam at none against Bubble Jam's shown. Screw Jam also leads on chart position (#136 vs unranked) and ratings volume (49K vs 8.4K). Bubble Jam's advantage is review sentiment (42% vs 26%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screw Jam sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Jam sells 31 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Screw Jam against 4.7 for Bubble Jam. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screw Jam has 49K ratings behind it against 8.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 26% of Screw Jam's written reviews are positive against 42% of Bubble Jam's.

Screw Jam ships an update weekly, Bubble Jam every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
