Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NexCube at none against SpeedCubeTimer's 1. NexCube also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). SpeedCubeTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
