Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cartily at daily against Marraine's monthly. Cartily also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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. Marraine sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per month and Cartily sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Marraine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cartily has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Marraine ships an update monthly, Cartily daily. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
