# Puzzle Clock vs Cube Solver

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.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Clock sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Cube Solver sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
