Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: 21Moves | Cube Puzzle Solver at 59K against Cutimer's 41. 21Moves | Cube Puzzle Solver also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). Cutimer's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Cutimer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and 21Moves | Cube Puzzle Solver sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
21Moves | Cube Puzzle Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 21Moves | Cube Puzzle Solver has 59K ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Cutimer's written reviews are positive against 69% of 21Moves | Cube Puzzle Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cutimer ships an update every 2 weeks, 21Moves | Cube Puzzle Solver weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
