# Cube Critters vs Viola’s Quest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cube Critters at 71% against Viola’s Quest's 28%. Cube Critters also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.2). Viola’s Quest's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 31) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Critters sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Viola’s Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Viola’s Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Viola’s Quest has 38K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Cube Critters's written reviews are positive against 28% of Viola’s Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cube Critters ships an update every 4 weeks, Viola’s Quest weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
