Zotz! is an enjoyable time-waster, a form of perceptual practice, good for training the brain and the eyes; there is no timer and no score, no pressure, just a simple challenge waiting for you whenever you like. The game supposes a deck of cards, where each card has four attributes, and each attribute on any given card has one of three possible values: Number (one, two, or three), Color (red, blue, or green), Fill (solid, hazy, or empty), and Shape (diamond, oval, or rectangle). All you have to do is to spot, amongst the visible cards, any three cards which, for each attribute, are either all identical or all different. Colors, middle fill type, and number of cards in the layout can all be customized. Full instructions, with examples, are included.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Zotz! at Free against Cribbage HD's $5.99. Zotz! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Cribbage HD's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Zotz! is free to download; Cribbage HD costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Zotz! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage HD has 2.9K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Zotz!'s written reviews are positive against 88% of Cribbage HD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Zotz! ships an update every 11 months, Cribbage HD every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
