The clearest difference is rating: Cribbage at 4.5 against Just Cribbage's 2.9. Cribbage also leads on ratings volume (482 vs 31) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Just Cribbage's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cribbage holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage has 482 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Cribbage's written reviews are positive against 36% of Just Cribbage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cribbage ships an update every 20 months, Just Cribbage every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
