Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pac.io at Free against ChartFight SP's $0.99. Pac.io also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (297 vs 5). ChartFight SP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support 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
Pac.io is free to download; ChartFight SP costs $0.99 up front. Pac.io sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. ChartFight SP asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pac.io holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pac.io has 297 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of ChartFight SP's written reviews are positive against 54% of Pac.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ChartFight SP ships an update every 8 months, Pac.io fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
