The clearest difference is rating: BuildInstruction at 4.5 against Cubelets Updater's 3.0. BuildInstruction also leads on ratings volume (108 vs 4). Cubelets Updater's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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.

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.
