Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Bejeweled Classic at Free against Cubistry's $1.99. Bejeweled Classic also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (137K vs 86). Cubistry's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Bejeweled Classic is free to download; Cubistry costs $1.99 up front. Bejeweled Classic sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Cubistry asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bejeweled Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bejeweled Classic has 137K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Bejeweled Classic's written reviews are positive against 58% of Cubistry's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bejeweled Classic ships an update every 3 months, Cubistry every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
