Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iCube Lite at 3.9 against Cube Timer's 3.0. iCube Lite also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Cube Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
