Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cube Solver at 4.6 against Puzzle Clock's 4.1. Cube Solver also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 21). Puzzle Clock's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (75% vs 54%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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 5.6K 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 weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 6, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
