# kubic vs hex

The clearest difference is review sentiment: hex at 100% against kubic's 36%. hex also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). kubic's advantage is ratings volume (245 vs 21). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. kubic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. hex asks for nothing beyond the download.

hex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: kubic has 245 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of kubic's written reviews are positive against 100% of hex's.
