Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hoplite at 4.7 against Endless Cards's 4.2. Hoplite also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 74%) and ratings volume (787 vs 71). Endless Cards's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and price ($0.99 vs $3.99). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
