Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: The Unic at 4.3 against Cubinko's 3.9. Cubinko's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (52% vs 36%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Unic sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Cubinko sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

The Unic holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 44 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of The Unic's written reviews are positive against 52% of Cubinko's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

The Unic ships an update every 2 months, Cubinko every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
