Verdict

The call

Sqube Darkness's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 85 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sqube Darkness has 32K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Tappy Cat's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sqube Darkness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tappy Cat ships an update every 85 months, Sqube Darkness every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
