Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cribbage JD at 67% against Kaiser's 0%. Cribbage JD also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 2). Kaiser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cribbage JD sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Kaiser sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Kaiser holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage JD has 19K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Cribbage JD's written reviews are positive against 0% of Kaiser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
