Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Puzzle Clock at none against Cube Solver's shown. Puzzle Clock also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (75% vs 54%). Cube Solver's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Clock sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Cube Solver sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Solver has 5.9K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Puzzle Clock's written reviews are positive against 54% of Cube Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puzzle Clock ships an update every 4 months, Cube Solver every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
