Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3D Cube Solver at 100% against Cube Solver's 54%. Cube Solver's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Cube Solver sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 3D Cube Solver sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Solver has 5.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Cube Solver'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

Cube Solver ships an update weekly, 3D Cube Solver every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
