Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 3x3 CubeSpeed at none against iCube Lite's 1. 3x3 CubeSpeed also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). iCube Lite's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
