# Cubes 2048.io vs Bold Attack

The clearest difference is rating: Bold Attack at 4.6 against Cubes 2048.io's 2.9. Bold Attack also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (418 vs 24). Cubes 2048.io's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 19%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cubes 2048.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bold Attack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bold Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9.
