Verdict
Hallmark Cards Now and RideWithACE both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of RideWithACE's written reviews are positive against 65% of Hallmark Cards Now's. RideWithACE also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Hallmark Cards Now's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (10K vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
