Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Roly at 5.0 against Fun Bugs's 4.4. Fun Bugs's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fun Bugs sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Roly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Roly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Fun Bugs's written reviews are positive against 90% of Roly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fun Bugs ships an update every 5 months, Roly every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
