Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GuruFocus at 85% against StockCharts's 10%. GuruFocus also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (472 vs 34). StockCharts's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
