# DeckTradr vs Card Index

The clearest difference is rating: DeckTradr at 4.9 against Card Index's 4.4. DeckTradr also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 7) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). Card Index's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DeckTradr sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Card Index sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DeckTradr holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DeckTradr has 1.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of DeckTradr's written reviews are positive against 80% of Card Index's.

DeckTradr ships an update every 5 days, Card Index every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
