# Cube vs Micro.blog

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.

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.
