# Cribbage Pro vs Muggins

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Muggins at 100% against Cribbage Pro's 59%. Muggins also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Cribbage Pro's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cribbage Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Muggins sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Muggins 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 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Cribbage Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Muggins's.

Cribbage Pro ships an update fortnightly, Muggins every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
