Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Decrypto at every 4 days against Crypto's every 2 months. Crypto's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 123) and review sentiment (98% vs 85%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Decrypto sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Crypto sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Decrypto against 4.7 for Crypto. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crypto has 1.6K ratings behind it against 123, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Decrypto's written reviews are positive against 98% of Crypto's.
Decrypto ships an update every 4 days, Crypto every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
