# Broken Grounds vs CubeQuest

The clearest difference is ads: CubeQuest at none against Broken Grounds's shown. CubeQuest also leads on ratings volume (118 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). Broken Grounds's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Broken Grounds sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CubeQuest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Broken Grounds holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CubeQuest has 118 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Broken Grounds's written reviews are positive against 79% of CubeQuest's.

Broken Grounds ships an update every 7 months, CubeQuest every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
