Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GlossWire at 100% against uCard's 40%. GlossWire also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months). uCard's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
