Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Stranger Cubes at none against Dive Or Die!'s shown. Stranger Cubes also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Dive Or Die!'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 35 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
