Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Riddle Zen at weekly against Cube Link's every 2 months. Riddle Zen also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Cube Link's advantage is ratings volume (967 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
