# Cube Master vs Cube Solver

The clearest difference is ads: Cube Solver at none against Cube Master's shown. Cube Master's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Cube Solver sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. 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 438 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Cube Master's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cube Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cube Master ships an update every 5 days, Cube Solver every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
