Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cubby at 5.0 against Tally's 4.4. Cubby also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Tally's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Tally sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Cubby sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cubby holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 4.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Tally ships an update every 2 months, Cubby every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
