Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ping at 85% against IxChariot Endpoint's 33%. Ping also leads on ratings volume (376 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). IxChariot Endpoint's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (4.8 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IxChariot Endpoint holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ping has 376 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of IxChariot Endpoint's written reviews are positive against 85% of Ping's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IxChariot Endpoint ships an update every 7 months, Ping every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
