Graph IDE is the most powerful data visualization application for the iPad and gives access to a wide variety of graph types and graphical effects.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CrewBid at 3.9 against Graph's 2.9. CrewBid also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 30%) and ratings volume (227 vs 15). 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. Graph sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CrewBid sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CrewBid holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrewBid has 227 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Graph's written reviews are positive against 51% of CrewBid's.
Graph ships an update monthly, CrewBid fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 19, 2026.
