# Wacky Run vs Sqube Darkness

The clearest difference is update cadence: Wacky Run at every 10 days against Sqube Darkness's every 5 weeks. Sqube Darkness's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wacky Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sqube Darkness sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 61K and 32K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Wacky Run's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sqube Darkness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wacky Run ships an update every 10 days, Sqube Darkness every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
