The clearest difference is rating: Bubble Shooter Pop! at 4.6 against Bubble Pop's 4.1. Bubble Shooter Pop! also leads on ratings volume (128K vs 2.9K). Bubble Pop's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bubble Pop sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Bubble Shooter Pop! sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bubble Shooter Pop! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1.
