Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Data Matcher at none against Card Manager's shown. Data Matcher also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Card Manager's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Manager sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Data Matcher sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Data Matcher holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Manager has 2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
