# Puzzle Clock vs Cube Master

The clearest difference is ads: Puzzle Clock at none against Cube Master's shown. Puzzle Clock also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 49%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Cube Master's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). 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 Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cube Master holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Master has 434 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 49% of Cube Master'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 Master weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
