Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cube Timer & Coach at 4.6 against WCU CUBE's 2.1. Cube Timer & Coach also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). WCU CUBE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WCU CUBE sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cube Timer & Coach sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cube Timer & Coach holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 30 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of WCU CUBE's written reviews are positive against 25% of Cube Timer & Coach's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WCU CUBE ships an update fortnightly, Cube Timer & Coach every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
