Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ArtCard at 4.8 against Artify's 3.9. ArtCard also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 15). Artify's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
