# Thyng vs CubePaintAR

The clearest difference is rating: Thyng at 3.2 against CubePaintAR's 2.1. Thyng also leads on review sentiment (32% vs 10%) and ratings volume (141 vs 18). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thyng sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and CubePaintAR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
