# Project vs Cub8

The clearest difference is update cadence: Cub8 at every 3 days against Project's monthly. Cub8 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Project's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 51) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Project sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Cub8 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Project holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Project has 1.5K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Project's written reviews are positive against 63% of Cub8's.

Project ships an update monthly, Cub8 every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
