Verdict
Icro and Croissant both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Icro's written reviews are positive against 63% of Croissant's. Icro also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.5). Croissant's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (198 vs 20). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Icro sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Croissant sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Icro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Croissant has 198 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Icro's written reviews are positive against 63% of Croissant's.
Icro ships an update every 2 months, Croissant fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
