# Vía vs Cubinko

The clearest difference is rating: Vía at 4.6 against Cubinko's 4.0. Vía also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 23). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Vía holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vía has 1.8K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Vía's written reviews are positive against 53% of Cubinko's.

Vía ships an update monthly, Cubinko every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
