Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Overpaint at none against Cubinko's shown. Overpaint also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 52%) and ratings volume (133 vs 20). Cubinko's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
