Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TrendSpider at 4.3 against StockCharts's 2.8. TrendSpider also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 10%) and ratings volume (350 vs 49). StockCharts's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
