Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deword at 100% against Cubes Control's 55%. Deword also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Cubes Control's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (27K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cubes Control holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cubes Control has 27K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Deword's written reviews are positive against 55% of Cubes Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Deword ships an update every 2 weeks, Cubes Control every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
