Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChordsVault at none against Eikona's 4. ChordsVault also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Eikona's advantage is ratings volume (62 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
