Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SU CFOP at 82% against CubePal's 33%. SU CFOP also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (321 vs 5). CubePal's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CubePal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SU CFOP sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CubePal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SU CFOP has 321 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of CubePal's written reviews are positive against 82% of SU CFOP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CubePal ships an update every 3 months, SU CFOP every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
