Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ChartCool at Free against QiMenChart's $6.99. ChartCool also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). QiMenChart's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
