ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cube Rivals holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CUBER has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of CUBER's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cube Rivals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CUBER ships an update every 4 months, Cube Rivals every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
