Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cube Rivals at every 4 days against ScrambleMe's every 7 months. Cube Rivals also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ScrambleMe's advantage is review sentiment (97% vs 75%) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cube Rivals holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScrambleMe has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of ScrambleMe's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cube Rivals's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ScrambleMe ships an update every 7 months, Cube Rivals every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 14, 2026.
