# Sqube Darkness vs Pass and Boum

The clearest difference is rating: Sqube Darkness at 4.8 against Pass and Boum's 4.1. Sqube Darkness also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 275). Pass and Boum's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 36%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sqube Darkness sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Pass and Boum sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sqube Darkness has 32K ratings behind it against 275, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Sqube Darkness's written reviews are positive against 60% of Pass and Boum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sqube Darkness ships an update every 5 weeks, Pass and Boum every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
