Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Intiface Central at 100% against Arcade Card Reader's 50%. Intiface Central also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 4). Arcade Card Reader's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.4) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Arcade Card Reader holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intiface Central has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Intiface Central's written reviews are positive against 50% of Arcade Card Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
