Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DeckMate at 5.0 against Inspect's 4.5. DeckMate also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Inspect's advantage is ratings volume (135 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
