# Cube Link vs Cube Loop Puzzle

The clearest difference is price: Cube Link at Free against Cube Loop Puzzle's $1.99. Cube Link also leads on ratings volume (969 vs 4) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Cube Loop Puzzle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Cube Link is free to download; Cube Loop Puzzle costs $1.99 up front. Cube Link sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Cube Loop Puzzle sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cube Link holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cube Link has 969 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Cube Link's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cube Loop Puzzle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cube Link ships an update every 2 months, Cube Loop Puzzle every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
