# Ultimate Cribbage vs Widgle

The clearest difference is rating: Ultimate Cribbage at 4.6 against Widgle's 3.8. Ultimate Cribbage also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Widgle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ultimate Cribbage sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Widgle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ultimate Cribbage holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultimate Cribbage has 31K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Ultimate Cribbage's written reviews are positive against 100% of Widgle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
