# Bubble Shooter vs 1024Bubble

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.

Both are free to download. Bubble Shooter sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and 1024Bubble sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Shooter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Shooter has 487K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Bubble Shooter's written reviews are positive against 16% of 1024Bubble's.

Bubble Shooter ships an update every 3 weeks, 1024Bubble every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
