Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bumballon at fortnightly against Roller Polar's every 9 months. Bumballon also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Roller Polar's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 40%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roller Polar sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bumballon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bumballon holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 62 and 163 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Roller Polar's written reviews are positive against 40% of Bumballon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Roller Polar ships an update every 9 months, Bumballon fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
