Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Score Skull King at none against Cribtastic's shown. Score Skull King also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Cribtastic's advantage is ratings volume (295 vs 7) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 12 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
