Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Fidget Cube by Antsy Labs at free with in-app purchases against The Wrist Rush's subscription. Fidget Cube by Antsy Labs also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). The Wrist Rush's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fidget Cube by Antsy Labs sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and The Wrist Rush sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fidget Cube by Antsy Labs holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 187 and 145 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Fidget Cube by Antsy Labs's written reviews are positive against 61% of The Wrist Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
