# Cryptogram vs StickerBookCartoon

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StickerBookCartoon at none against Cryptogram's 4. Cryptogram's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.7). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cryptogram sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. StickerBookCartoon asks for nothing beyond the download.
