Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YGO Search at none against Card Evolution's 9. YGO Search also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Card Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (81K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
