# Wingspan vs Cribbage Go

The clearest difference is price: Cribbage Go at Free against Wingspan's $9.99. Cribbage Go also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Wingspan's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 2) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Cribbage Go is free to download; Wingspan costs $9.99 up front. Wingspan sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cribbage Go sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cribbage Go holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wingspan has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Wingspan ships an update every 2 weeks, Cribbage Go every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
