Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deckboard at none against MATRIC's 5. Deckboard also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). MATRIC's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
