Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UkeLib Chords at 4.8 against Uke Companion's 4.0. UkeLib Chords also leads on ratings volume (335 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Uke Companion's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UkeLib Chords holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UkeLib Chords has 335 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of UkeLib Chords's written reviews are positive against 100% of Uke Companion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UkeLib Chords ships an update monthly, Uke Companion every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
