Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Chartik at 5.0 against MotionBook's 4.5. Chartik also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). MotionBook's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
