# Beads Out vs Cube Tap Sort

The clearest difference is rating: Cube Tap Sort at 4.8 against Beads Out's 4.6. Cube Tap Sort also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Beads Out's advantage is chart position (#108 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beads Out sells 21 one-off in-app purchases and Cube Tap Sort sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cube Tap Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 25K and 13K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Beads Out's written reviews are positive against 20% of Cube Tap Sort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Beads Out ships an update every 6 days, Cube Tap Sort every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
