Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shape/Edge at none against 3 Cubes's 7. Shape/Edge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). 3 Cubes's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
