# Cube Solver vs Cat Merge

The clearest difference is rating: Cube Solver at 4.4 against Cat Merge's 3.9. Cube Solver also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 54) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). Cat Merge's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (28% vs 19%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cube Solver sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Cat Merge asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cube Solver holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Solver has 2.1K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Cube Solver's written reviews are positive against 28% of Cat Merge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cube Solver ships an update every 10 days, Cat Merge every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
