# Sarotis vs Card Wallet

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sarotis at 79% against Card Wallet's 0%. Sarotis also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Card Wallet's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sarotis sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Card Wallet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Card Wallet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Sarotis'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.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
