Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
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.
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.
