# Chain Cube vs 32K

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 32K at 100% against Chain Cube's 28%. 32K also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Chain Cube's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 23). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chain Cube sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and 32K sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

32K holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chain Cube has 30K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Chain Cube's written reviews are positive against 100% of 32K's.

Chain Cube ships an update every 3 weeks, 32K weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
