# Cribbage Pro vs Tallywackers

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.

Both are free to download. Cribbage Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Tallywackers asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tallywackers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage Pro has 60K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cribbage Pro ships an update fortnightly, Tallywackers every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
