Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cribbage Pegboard at Free against Cribtastic's $4.99. Cribbage Pegboard also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 59) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). Cribtastic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 39 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
