# TrayBien vs Crewline

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Crewline at 1.4K against TrayBien's 28. Crewline also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). TrayBien's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TrayBien sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Crewline sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crewline holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crewline has 1.4K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of TrayBien's written reviews are positive against 81% of Crewline's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TrayBien ships an update monthly, Crewline every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
