# Cube Solver vs Cube Master

The clearest difference is update cadence: Cube Master at weekly against Cube Solver's every 2 months. Cube Master also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2). Cube Solver's advantage is ratings volume (52K vs 434) and review sentiment (68% vs 49%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Solver sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Cube Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cube Master holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Solver has 52K ratings behind it against 434, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Cube Solver's written reviews are positive against 49% of Cube Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cube Solver ships an update every 2 months, Cube Master weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
