Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Last Cube X sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PLL Genius sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PLL Genius holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Last Cube X has 170 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
