Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My CDGA at none against CHSN's 5. My CDGA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). CHSN's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 4). On price, review sentiment and 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
Both are free to download. CHSN sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. My CDGA asks for nothing beyond the download.
CHSN holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CHSN has 3.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of My CDGA's written reviews are positive against 26% of CHSN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My CDGA ships an update every 5 months, CHSN fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
