Verdict
CATCHTABLE and Carte both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Carte's written reviews are positive against 51% of CATCHTABLE's. Carte also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). CATCHTABLE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
