# Four vs Cube Solver

The clearest difference is rating: Cube Solver at 4.6 against Four's 4.0. Cube Solver also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (6K vs 4). Four's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Solver sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Four asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Solver has 6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Four's written reviews are positive against 54% of Cube Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Four ships an update every 7 months, Cube Solver every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
