# Cube Bop vs Smash Factory 3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cube Bop at 100% against Smash Factory 3D's 25%. Cube Bop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Smash Factory 3D's advantage is ratings volume (245 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Bop sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Smash Factory 3D sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cube Bop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash Factory 3D has 245 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Cube Bop's written reviews are positive against 25% of Smash Factory 3D's.
