IMPORTANT: That you really can use the app, you have to make an in-app purchase. Without the in-app purchase, you will have only some basic functionality to verify, that the app does really what you expect. A face-up spread of playing cards can be captured via the video-stream from the back camera of the iPhone. The order of the playing cards will be detected and can be displayed. All missing cards can be displayed too. All regular Poker-Playing cards (Bicycle, Phoenix) are detected. Also the new Phoenix Large Index Deck is supported. Important: Jokers are NOT detected! The detection and analysis works very fast (faster than 1 second). The app has a variety of different settings. To unlock the whole functionality, you can purchase the monthly subscription "Full Access". With this subscription you unlock (for the time periode of the subscription) all features of Vision.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Vision at 83% against Pub Magic's 33%. Vision also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 52 months). Pub Magic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
