Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Crayola Create and Play+ at free against Sago Mini Trips+'s paid. Crayola Create and Play+ also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 166). Sago Mini Trips+'s advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crayola Create and Play+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crayola Create and Play+ has 10K ratings behind it against 166, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Crayola Create and Play+'s written reviews are positive against 91% of Sago Mini Trips+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crayola Create and Play+ ships an update every 3 weeks, Sago Mini Trips+ every 13 months. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
