Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Candlestick Charting at daily against Technical Analysis's every 2 months. Candlestick Charting also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 39%). Technical Analysis's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 271). 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. Candlestick Charting sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Technical Analysis sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Technical Analysis holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 271 and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Candlestick Charting's written reviews are positive against 39% of Technical Analysis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Candlestick Charting ships an update daily, Technical Analysis every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 4, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
