# Cube Solver & Timer vs Rubik Master

The clearest difference is rating: Rubik Master at 4.5 against Cube Solver & Timer's 4.0. Rubik Master also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Solver & Timer sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Rubik Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rubik Master holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 391 and 297 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Cube Solver & Timer's written reviews are positive against 48% of Rubik Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cube Solver & Timer ships an update every 3 weeks, Rubik Master every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
