Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cubbily at 4.9 against iLivestock's 3.0. Cubbily also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 8) and chart position (#202 vs unranked). iLivestock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cubbily holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cubbily has 1.3K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of iLivestock's written reviews are positive against 62% of Cubbily's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iLivestock ships an update fortnightly, Cubbily every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
