Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cubic Sandbox at none against Genius Mechanic's shown. Cubic Sandbox also leads on ratings volume (793 vs 150) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Genius Mechanic's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 45 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cubic Sandbox sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Genius Mechanic sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
