Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CAKE Members at fortnightly against Cloth Goblin's every 4 months. CAKE Members also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1). Cloth Goblin's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CAKE Members sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $100.00 per year and Cloth Goblin sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cloth Goblin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CAKE Members has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
CAKE Members ships an update fortnightly, Cloth Goblin every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
