Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SixD at 4.8 against SymbolGrid's 3.0. SixD also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 2). SymbolGrid's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SixD holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SixD has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SymbolGrid's written reviews are positive against 90% of SixD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SymbolGrid ships an update monthly, SixD every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
