Both are free to download. Sqube Darkness sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Spike Sprint asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sqube Darkness has 32K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Spike Sprint'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.
Spike Sprint ships an update every 5 months, Sqube Darkness every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
