Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tallywackers at none against Cribbage Pro's 5. Tallywackers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Cribbage Pro's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (60K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
