Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tab Card at none against Instant Checkmate's 7. Tab Card also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Instant Checkmate's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
