Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BuildInstruction holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BuildInstruction has 108 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Cubelets Updater's written reviews are positive against 0% of BuildInstruction's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
