# Cribbage Pro vs Cribbage

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cribbage Pro at 58% against Cribbage's 8%. Cribbage Pro also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). Cribbage's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Cribbage Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage Pro has 60K ratings behind it against 81, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Cribbage Pro's written reviews are positive against 8% of Cribbage's.

Cribbage Pro ships an update fortnightly, Cribbage every 9 months. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
