Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: 3D Magic Cube Puzzle at Free against Cube's $2.99. 3D Magic Cube Puzzle also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (181 vs 2). Cube's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 56%) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

3D Magic Cube Puzzle holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Magic Cube Puzzle has 181 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of 3D Magic Cube Puzzle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

3D Magic Cube Puzzle ships an update every 3 weeks, Cube every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
