Both are free to download. cards.study sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month and MapTap.gg sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for cards.study against 4.9 for MapTap.gg.

Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of cards.study's written reviews are positive against 93% of MapTap.gg's.
