# Fast Chart vs GridQuilt

The clearest difference is rating: GridQuilt at 5.0 against Fast Chart's 4.5. GridQuilt also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Fast Chart's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fast Chart sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GridQuilt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GridQuilt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Chart has 92 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Fast Chart's written reviews are positive against 100% of GridQuilt's.

Fast Chart ships an update every 10 days, GridQuilt monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
