Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cardinal Golf at none against Tracer Golf's shown. Cardinal Golf also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Tracer Golf's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
