# Cube vs Work Counter

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.

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.

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.
