# IxChariot Endpoint vs Ping

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.

Both are free to download. Ping sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. IxChariot Endpoint asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
