Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Coinamatic CP Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coinamatic CP Mobile has 202 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Bins's written reviews are positive against 50% of Coinamatic CP Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
