Micro.blog is the fastest way to blog and a safe community for microbloggers. Micro.blog is the blog you will actually use. Micro.blog shows recent posts from sites and people you are following. Microblog posts are short — quick thoughts, links to web sites, and replies to friends. It's a fast timeline that's powered by the open web. Blogs hosted on Micro.blog include: * Short microblog posts or full-length posts. * Markdown for styling. * Custom themes. * Categories, photos, podcasts, video, and more. Already have a blog? Use Micro.blog to follow friends and post to external blogs compatible with WordPress and the Micropub API.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Micro.blog at 4.4 against Cube's 1.9. Micro.blog also leads on ratings volume (56 vs 9). Cube's advantage is iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Micro.blog holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Micro.blog has 56 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Cube's written reviews are positive against 88% of Micro.blog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
