Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Fun Fireworks at Free against Fireworks Tap's $1.99. Fun Fireworks also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 12 months). Fireworks Tap's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fireworks Tap holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fireworks Tap has 99 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Fun Fireworks's written reviews are positive against 83% of Fireworks Tap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fun Fireworks ships an update every 6 months, Fireworks Tap every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
