Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: THEKKING at 2.1 against Idol Chart's 1.0. THEKKING also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (70 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Idol Chart sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and THEKKING sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
THEKKING holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: THEKKING has 70 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of Idol Chart's written reviews are positive against 26% of THEKKING's.
Idol Chart ships an update every 36 months, THEKKING every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
