# Stakeout vs CrowdWizard

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Stakeout at 6.8K against CrowdWizard's 5. Stakeout also leads on chart position (#37 vs unranked). CrowdWizard's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stakeout sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and CrowdWizard sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Stakeout against 5.0 for CrowdWizard. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stakeout has 6.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Stakeout's written reviews are positive against 100% of CrowdWizard's.

Stakeout ships an update every 2 months, CrowdWizard every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
