Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tile Cribbage at 4.8 against Cribbage Square's 3.0. Tile Cribbage also leads on ratings volume (45 vs 1). Cribbage Square's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tile Cribbage holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tile Cribbage has 45 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 33% of Tile Cribbage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
