Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Chartly at none against Simply Wall St's shown. Chartly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs weekly). Simply Wall St's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 2) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
