Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Starlink at 4.9 against ChemTracker's 4.4. Starlink also leads on ratings volume (115K vs 7) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). ChemTracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Starlink holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starlink has 115K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Starlink's written reviews are positive against 100% of ChemTracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
