Both are free to download. Cube AR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CubiksRube asks for nothing beyond the download.
CubiksRube holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube AR has 3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Cube AR's written reviews are positive against 0% of CubiksRube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
