Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Card Network at none against SubSnap's 1. The Card Network also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). SubSnap's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
