Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Musicate at 4.9 against Chords Finder's 4.4. Musicate also leads on ratings volume (228 vs 7). Chords Finder's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Musicate holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Musicate has 228 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Musicate's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chords Finder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Musicate ships an update every 2 months, Chords Finder every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
