Both are free to download. Cube Solver & Timer sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Cube Solver sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Solver has 5.9K ratings behind it against 432, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Cube Solver & Timer's written reviews are positive against 54% of Cube Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cube Solver & Timer ships an update fortnightly, Cube Solver every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
