Your cube. Your phone. Solved. CubeLens turns the cube on your desk into a guided lesson. Rotate it in front of the camera: any face, any order, any way up. Each face captures automatically, and CubeLens assembles them into your exact cube, verified to be physically possible before you start. TRY IT — FREE Scanning, validation, and your first three Quick solves are free: a computer-optimized solution around 21 moves, shown on a 3D cube and narrated move by move. The complete experience, no strings. ONE UNLOCK, EVERYTHING, FOREVER One purchase, CubeLens Unlimited, and it's all yours for good: • Unlimited Quick solves, every scramble, guided move by move. • Beginner: the classic layer-by-layer method, taught the way humans actually learn it, one narrated move at a time. • CFOP: the advanced method speedcubers use. Cross, F2L pairs, then the last layer, with each stage explained. No ads to remove. No subscription. No pay-per-solve. One price, once. A GUIDE THAT KEEPS UP WITH YOU Every move is shown on a 3D cube you can spin, previewed on the exact layer to turn, and spoken aloud in clear studio narration, with four narrators to choose from. Auto-play paces itself to the voice; set the speed from 0.5x to 2x, or step through by hand. SCANNING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS • Reads real-world lighting: white-balance locking, glare rejection, and per-face illumination correction. • Handles non-standard color schemes and rim-style / carbon-fiber cubes, and renders your cube in its true colors. • Legality checking catches misreads and fixes many of them automatically; if a scan is uncertain, CubeLens asks to re-scan just the sides in question, or fix any sticker with a tap. • Prefer to type it in? Full manual color entry is there too. The camera is the fast way, never the only way. • If your cube was reassembled wrong, CubeLens detects that it's physically unsolvable and tells you which kind of piece to fix. BONUS: SEND IT TO YOUR VISION PRO With the companion app Cubed on Apple Vision Pro, one scan drops a life-size copy of your cube, in its real colors, into the room in front of you. No account. No ads. No subscriptions, just one optional one-time unlock. Nothing leaves your device. Voice credits and licenses: https://cubelens.app/credits.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Yact at none against CubeLens's 1. Yact also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). CubeLens's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
