# Sort The Blocks vs Cube Match 3D

Sort The Blocks and Cube Match 3D both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of Sort The Blocks's written reviews are positive against 25% of Cube Match 3D's. Sort The Blocks also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11). Cube Match 3D's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 1.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Match 3D sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Sort The Blocks asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cube Match 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Match 3D has 6.3K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Sort The Blocks's written reviews are positive against 25% of Cube Match 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sort The Blocks ships an update every 3 weeks, Cube Match 3D every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
