# Net Deck vs Eternal Card Game

The clearest difference is rating: Net Deck at 5.0 against Eternal Card Game's 4.5. Net Deck also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 65%). Eternal Card Game's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 45). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Net Deck sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Eternal Card Game sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Net Deck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eternal Card Game has 1.3K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 97% of Net Deck's written reviews are positive against 65% of Eternal Card Game's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
