Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CUBIC MAZES at none against TENKYU's shown. CUBIC MAZES also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). TENKYU's advantage is ratings volume (255K vs 39) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, 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. TENKYU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CUBIC MAZES sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TENKYU holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TENKYU has 255K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of TENKYU's written reviews are positive against 67% of CUBIC MAZES's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TENKYU ships an update monthly, CUBIC MAZES every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
