ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Card Wallet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card has 101 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Card's written reviews are positive against 0% of Card Wallet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Card ships an update every 3 weeks, Card Wallet every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
