# UDA vs Card Talk

UDA and Card Talk both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Card Talk's written reviews are positive against 26% of UDA's. Card Talk also leads on ratings volume (268 vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). UDA's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Talk sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. UDA asks for nothing beyond the download.

UDA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Talk has 268 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of UDA's written reviews are positive against 68% of Card Talk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UDA ships an update every 11 days, Card Talk every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
