# CUBER vs Cube Rivals

The clearest difference is rating: Cube Rivals at 5.0 against CUBER's 4.4. Cube Rivals also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). CUBER's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CUBER sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cube Rivals asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
