Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gemel at 5.0 against Cubinko's 4.0. Gemel also leads on ads (none vs shown). Cubinko's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cubinko sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Gemel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gemel holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cubinko has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
