Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: PLL Genius at free against Last Cube X's freemium. PLL Genius also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Last Cube X's advantage is ratings volume (170 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
