Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Corner Card Shop at 5.0 against PullRates's 4.7. Corner Card Shop also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 92%). PullRates's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (22 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PullRates sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Corner Card Shop sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Corner Card Shop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PullRates has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of PullRates's written reviews are positive against 100% of Corner Card Shop's.
