Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CardNav at 4.4 against Card Suite Lite's 3.7. CardNav also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 16) and review sentiment (30% vs 21%). Card Suite Lite's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
