Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DeckDeck at none against Encode's shown. DeckDeck also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Encode's advantage is ratings volume (6.4K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Encode sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and DeckDeck sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DeckDeck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Encode has 6.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
