Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Candlestick Charting at none against Finademy's shown. Candlestick Charting also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Finademy's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 271). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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. Candlestick Charting sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Finademy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Finademy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finademy has 6.4K ratings behind it against 271, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Candlestick Charting's written reviews are positive against 80% of Finademy's.
Candlestick Charting ships an update daily, Finademy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
