# Ultimate 500 vs Crazy Eights

The clearest difference is price: Crazy Eights at Free against Ultimate 500's $0.99. Crazy Eights also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 34%) and ratings volume (22 vs 4). Ultimate 500's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Crazy Eights is free to download; Ultimate 500 costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ultimate 500 holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crazy Eights has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Ultimate 500's written reviews are positive against 44% of Crazy Eights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ultimate 500 ships an update every 2 weeks, Crazy Eights every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
