No internet, no waiting for a server: scan the cube on a plane, on the subway or anywhere without signal and get the moves in seconds. For big cubes there is also the Pro solver: it asks our online solver too, tuned for 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6, and keeps whichever solution is shorter.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rubix Cube Solver and Guide at 4.7 against 3D Cube Solver's 3.5. Rubix Cube Solver and Guide also leads on ratings volume (702 vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). 3D Cube Solver's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rubix Cube Solver and Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rubix Cube Solver and Guide has 702 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Rubix Cube Solver and Guide's written reviews are positive against 100% of 3D Cube Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rubix Cube Solver and Guide ships an update every 3 weeks, 3D Cube Solver every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
