# Cribbage vs Just Cribbage

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.

Both are free to download. Cribbage sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Just Cribbage asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
