Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CubeQuest at 79% against Hook Jam's 27%. CubeQuest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Hook Jam's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 118). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
