# Magic Cube Puzzle 3D vs ™ Minesweeper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Magic Cube Puzzle 3D at 84% against ™ Minesweeper's 45%. Magic Cube Puzzle 3D also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 745) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). ™ Minesweeper's advantage is ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Magic Cube Puzzle 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ™ Minesweeper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic Cube Puzzle 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.
