Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Magic Cube³D at none against Cube AR's 1. Magic Cube³D also leads on rating (2.4 vs 2.1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Cube AR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3K vs 13). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
