# Cribtastic vs CribScore

The clearest difference is price: CribScore at Free against Cribtastic's $4.99. Cribtastic's advantage is ratings volume (59 vs 1) and chart position (#34 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CribScore is free to download; Cribtastic costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Cribtastic against 5.0 for CribScore. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribtastic has 59 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
