Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gem Blitz at none against Cube Cube's 10. Gem Blitz also leads on ads (none vs shown). Cube Cube's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 549). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
