Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ChordIQ at every 11 days against Solfeggio's every 2 months. ChordIQ also leads on ratings volume (222 vs 19). Solfeggio's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solfeggio sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ChordIQ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Solfeggio against 4.5 for ChordIQ. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChordIQ has 222 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Solfeggio's written reviews are positive against 64% of ChordIQ's.
Solfeggio ships an update every 2 months, ChordIQ every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
