Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cube Runner at none against Space Monkey's shown. Cube Runner also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 29 months). Space Monkey's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
