# Nova vs Bubble Level

The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Level at 5.0 against Nova's 4.6. Bubble Level also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Nova's advantage is ratings volume (93 vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nova sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Bubble Level sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Level holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nova has 93 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Nova's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bubble Level's.

Nova ships an update every 4 days, Bubble Level fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
