Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: CardistX at Free against Ultimate Card Creator's $3.99. CardistX also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Ultimate Card Creator's advantage is chart position (#108 vs unranked) and ratings volume (31 vs 6). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
