Both are free to download. Hand Control sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and CubeLab sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hand Control holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.0.
