# Card Crawl 2 vs Goritaire

The clearest difference is rating: Card Crawl 2 at 4.5 against Goritaire's 4.0. Card Crawl 2 also leads on ratings volume (399 vs 19) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Goritaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 53%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Crawl 2 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Goritaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Card Crawl 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Crawl 2 has 399 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Card Crawl 2's written reviews are positive against 67% of Goritaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Card Crawl 2 ships an update every 3 days, Goritaire every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
