Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bubble Shooter at 60% against 1024Bubble's 16%. Bubble Shooter also leads on ratings volume (487K vs 3.2K) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). 1024Bubble's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
