Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Work Counter at 4.8 against Cube's 3.0. Work Counter also leads on ratings volume (55 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). Cube's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 45%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Work Counter sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Work Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Work Counter has 55 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Cube's written reviews are positive against 45% of Work Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cube ships an update every 5 weeks, Work Counter every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
