Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mirage at none against Colorcube's 1. Mirage also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Colorcube's advantage is ratings volume (852 vs 5) and review sentiment (92% vs 75%). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Colorcube costs $2.99 and Mirage $1.99 up front. Colorcube sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Mirage asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mirage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colorcube has 852 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Colorcube's written reviews are positive against 75% of Mirage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Colorcube ships an update every 2 months, Mirage every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
