Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Drop Flip at every 2 weeks against CubeQuest's every 3 months. Drop Flip also leads on ratings volume (9.9K vs 117) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, rating, review sentiment 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. Drop Flip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CubeQuest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CubeQuest holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drop Flip has 9.9K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Drop Flip's written reviews are positive against 79% of CubeQuest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Drop Flip ships an update every 2 weeks, CubeQuest every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
