# Cribbage Royale vs Cribbage

The clearest difference is rating: Cribbage at 5.0 against Cribbage Royale's 3.6. Cribbage also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). Cribbage Royale's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 0%) and ratings volume (40 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cribbage Royale sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Cribbage asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cribbage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage Royale has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Cribbage Royale's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cribbage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cribbage Royale ships an update every 2 months, Cribbage fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
