# Ace Trace vs Charts Analytics

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Charts Analytics at 100% against Ace Trace's 51%. Charts Analytics also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Ace Trace's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 12) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ace Trace sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Charts Analytics sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Charts Analytics holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ace Trace has 2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Ace Trace's written reviews are positive against 100% of Charts Analytics's.

Ace Trace ships an update every 2 weeks, Charts Analytics every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
