Both are free to download. Patterns for Magic Cube sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CubeCollege asks for nothing beyond the download.
CubeCollege holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Patterns for Magic Cube has 122 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Patterns for Magic Cube's written reviews are positive against 18% of CubeCollege's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Patterns for Magic Cube ships an update fortnightly, CubeCollege weekly. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
