# Candy Cup! vs Cube Match Master

The clearest difference is rating: Cube Match Master at 4.5 against Candy Cup!'s 3.7. Candy Cup!'s advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Cup! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Cube Match Master sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cube Match Master holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 183 and 257 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Candy Cup!'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Cube Match Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Candy Cup! ships an update every 6 weeks, Cube Match Master every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
