Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Cue at freemium against FloatText's subscription. Cue also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). FloatText's advantage is ratings volume (332 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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. FloatText sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Cue sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cue holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FloatText has 332 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
FloatText ships an update every 2 weeks, Cue every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
