Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bust at 5.0 against Bubble King's 3.1. Bust also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months). Bubble King's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 0%) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bust holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble King has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Bubble King's written reviews are positive against 0% of Bust's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bubble King ships an update every 19 months, Bust every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
