Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cube at none against Alchemy 1000's 10. Cube also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 9 months). Alchemy 1000's advantage is ratings volume (7.7K vs 25) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
