Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3D Cube Solver at 100% against Cube Solver & Timer's 54%. 3D Cube Solver also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Cube Solver & Timer's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (391 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 3D Cube Solver sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cube Solver & Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Solver & Timer has 391 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Cube Solver & Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of 3D 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 every 3 weeks, 3D Cube Solver every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
