Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Cubesc at Free against nozoku's $1.99. Cubesc also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). nozoku's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

nozoku holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cubesc has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of nozoku's written reviews are positive against 81% of Cubesc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

nozoku ships an update every 6 months, Cubesc monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
