Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TCG Now at 100% against FanimeCon's 50%. TCG Now also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). FanimeCon's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TCG Now sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per month. FanimeCon asks for nothing beyond the download.
FanimeCon holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FanimeCon has 130 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of FanimeCon's written reviews are positive against 100% of TCG Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FanimeCon ships an update every 2 months, TCG Now every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
