Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Phillips at 80% against WatchCharts's 27%. Phillips also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9). WatchCharts's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 30) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence and ads 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. WatchCharts sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month. Phillips asks for nothing beyond the download.
WatchCharts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WatchCharts has 1.4K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of WatchCharts's written reviews are positive against 80% of Phillips's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WatchCharts ships an update every 3 weeks, Phillips fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
