Chartistic has been featured in the App Store in 43 countries, already! It has also been listed in App Store’s ten best Apps of the year in Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam! ----------------------- Two ingredients to a great presentation. A powerful storyline, and the data to back it up. Good stories can sell themselves, but data needs visual support! Most presentations tumble down into the pit of forgettable mediocrity simply because they lack visually appealing data-centric charts. Also, there aren't many easy-to-use tools for your mobile device that strip away the drudgery of creating charts. Precisely why we built Chartistic! Chartistic comes with an assortment of interactive bar charts, line charts, area charts, (sweet as) pie charts that are both great to look at and fun to create. Our unique clipart-powered data visualizer is a show-stealer, sure to drive your points home! Create and edit them all on the go. And export as images and embed in presentations, emails, documents, spreadsheets, even in your next tweet!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Chartistic at none against Chart Maker's shown. Chartistic also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 50%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Chart Maker's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chart Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chartistic has 236 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Chartistic's written reviews are positive against 50% of Chart Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chartistic ships an update every 2 months, Chart Maker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
