FAQ

What's the biggest difference?

CardAgent's scores are reproducible from published weights; CardGuru's ratings are editorial. And CardAgent recommends between cards in YOUR wallet for a specific purchase — CardGuru does not.

Are the card lists the same?

Largely overlapping — both cover major Indian credit cards. CardAgent additionally includes debit cards and legacy / discontinued cards for reference.
