Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Coder at none against /cards's 4. Pocket Coder also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). /cards's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
