Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iCardPlayer Lite at none against Hearts's shown. iCardPlayer Lite also leads on rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Hearts's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (90 vs 13). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iCardPlayer Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearts has 90 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of iCardPlayer Lite's written reviews are positive against 51% of Hearts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iCardPlayer Lite ships an update every 10 months, Hearts every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
