Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sandbox Experimental at 4.4 against Cubic Sandbox's 3.8. Sandbox Experimental also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Cubic Sandbox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (794 vs 19). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sandbox Experimental holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cubic Sandbox has 794 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Cubic Sandbox's written reviews are positive against 64% of Sandbox Experimental's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
