# Cribbage Square vs Cribbage

The clearest difference is rating: Cribbage at 4.5 against Cribbage Square's 3.0. Cribbage also leads on ratings volume (471 vs 1). Cribbage Square's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cribbage Square sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Cribbage sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cribbage holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage has 471 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Cribbage Square's written reviews are positive against 27% of Cribbage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cribbage Square ships an update every 2 months, Cribbage every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
