Both are free to download. Pocket Cube Solver sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cube Scrambler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cube Scrambler holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Cube Solver has 555 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Pocket Cube Solver's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cube Scrambler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pocket Cube Solver ships an update fortnightly, Cube Scrambler every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 12, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
