Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PocketAlgs at none against SpeedCube's 1. PocketAlgs also leads on ads (none vs shown). SpeedCube's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
