Both are free to download. Nine Card Game sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Decypher asks for nothing beyond the download.
Nine Card Game holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nine Card Game has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Nine Card Game's written reviews are positive against 100% of Decypher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nine Card Game ships an update every 2 months, Decypher weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
