# Cube Master 3D vs Tile Busters

The clearest difference is ads: Tile Busters at none against Cube Master 3D's shown. Tile Busters also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Cube Master 3D's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Master 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tile Busters sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tile Busters holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20K and 51K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Cube Master 3D's written reviews are positive against 39% of Tile Busters's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cube Master 3D ships an update every 3 weeks, Tile Busters fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
