Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iForce at none against Card2Phone's 1. iForce also leads on price ($2.99 vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.7). Card2Phone's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
