# Bubble Shoot Pet vs Shoot Bubbles

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Shoot Bubbles at 133K against Bubble Shoot Pet's 934. Shoot Bubbles also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Bubble Shoot Pet's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 52%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Shoot Pet sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Shoot Bubbles sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shoot Bubbles holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shoot Bubbles has 133K ratings behind it against 934, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Bubble Shoot Pet's written reviews are positive against 52% of Shoot Bubbles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bubble Shoot Pet ships an update every 2 months, Shoot Bubbles monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
