# MotionBook vs Chartik

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.

Both are free to download. MotionBook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Chartik sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chartik holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MotionBook has 3.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of MotionBook's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chartik's.

MotionBook ships an update every 6 weeks, Chartik every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
