Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Peer at 5.0 against cardFlash's 4.7. Peer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). cardFlash's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
