# SWAP The Matrix vs Cube Master 3D

SWAP The Matrix and Cube Master 3D both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of SWAP The Matrix's written reviews are positive against 46% of Cube Master 3D's. Cube Master 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 41 months) and ratings volume (20K vs 16). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SWAP The Matrix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cube Master 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for SWAP The Matrix against 4.4 for Cube Master 3D. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Master 3D has 20K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of SWAP The Matrix's written reviews are positive against 46% of Cube Master 3D's.

SWAP The Matrix ships an update every 41 months, Cube Master 3D every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
