# Chartnote vs Commure Ambient

The clearest difference is update cadence: Commure Ambient at every 4 days against Chartnote's every 2 weeks. Chartnote's advantage is ratings volume (597 vs 42) and review sentiment (90% vs 78%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chartnote sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month and Commure Ambient sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $89.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Chartnote against 4.7 for Commure Ambient. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chartnote has 597 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Chartnote's written reviews are positive against 78% of Commure Ambient's.

Chartnote ships an update every 2 weeks, Commure Ambient every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
