Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Link at Free against Chart Guide Pro's $5.99. Link also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 21 months). Chart Guide Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
