Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Byte Cube at 4.7 against Cube Timer's 3.0. Byte Cube also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Cube Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Byte Cube sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Cube Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Byte Cube holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Byte Cube has 61 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Byte Cube ships an update weekly, Cube Timer fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
