# Tap Escape vs Magic Cube Puzzle

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tap Escape at 100% against Magic Cube Puzzle's 29%. Tap Escape also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Magic Cube Puzzle's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (335 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Cube Puzzle sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Tap Escape asks for nothing beyond the download.

Magic Cube Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Cube Puzzle has 335 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tap Escape's written reviews are positive against 29% of Magic Cube Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
