# Card Ladder vs Provenant

Card Ladder and Provenant both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Provenant's written reviews are positive against 52% of Card Ladder's. Card Ladder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 18). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Ladder sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Provenant sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Card Ladder against 5.0 for Provenant. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Ladder has 11K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of Card Ladder's written reviews are positive against 100% of Provenant's.

Card Ladder ships an update every 3 days, Provenant weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
