# Cuarenta vs Rummikub

The clearest difference is rating: Rummikub at 4.4 against Cuarenta's 3.2. Rummikub also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 6) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). Cuarenta's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cuarenta sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rummikub sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rummikub holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rummikub has 14K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Cuarenta's written reviews are positive against 47% of Rummikub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cuarenta ships an update every 4 months, Rummikub every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
