# PaperKarma vs Cribbo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cribbo at 100% against PaperKarma's 33%. Cribbo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). PaperKarma's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PaperKarma sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Cribbo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cribbo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PaperKarma has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of PaperKarma's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cribbo's.

PaperKarma ships an update monthly, Cribbo every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
