Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ScrambleMe ships an update every 7 months, Cube Rivals every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 14, 2026.
