# Jam Cam vs CUBE

Jam Cam and CUBE both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of CUBE's written reviews are positive against 45% of Jam Cam's. Jam Cam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (104 vs 16). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jam Cam sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CUBE sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Jam Cam against 4.7 for CUBE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jam Cam has 104 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Jam Cam's written reviews are positive against 83% of CUBE's.

Jam Cam ships an update every 3 days, CUBE monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
