Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Magic Cube Puzzle 3D at 4.7 against The Setting Sun's 4.0. Magic Cube Puzzle 3D also leads on ratings volume (45K vs 105). The Setting Sun's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magic Cube Puzzle 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Setting Sun 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 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Cube Puzzle 3D has 45K ratings behind it against 105, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Magic Cube Puzzle 3D's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Setting Sun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Magic Cube Puzzle 3D ships an update every 3 months, The Setting Sun every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
