Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SPEEDSOLVE 123 at 100% against 3D Magic Cube Puzzle's 53%. SPEEDSOLVE 123 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). 3D Magic Cube Puzzle's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (184 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Magic Cube Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Magic Cube Puzzle has 184 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SPEEDSOLVE 123's written reviews are positive against 53% of 3D Magic Cube Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SPEEDSOLVE 123 ships an update every 10 days, 3D Magic Cube Puzzle every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
