Both are free to download. Straight Up sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Cubes Up! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Straight Up holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Straight Up has 916 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Straight Up's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cubes Up!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Straight Up ships an update every 10 days, Cubes Up! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
