Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RakugakiAR at every 2 weeks against Bubl ABC's every 143 months. RakugakiAR also leads on ratings volume (256 vs 48) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). Bubl ABC's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Bubl ABC costs $2.99 and RakugakiAR $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RakugakiAR holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RakugakiAR has 256 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Bubl ABC's written reviews are positive against 50% of RakugakiAR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bubl ABC ships an update every 143 months, RakugakiAR every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
