# Chip Chain vs Guncho

The clearest difference is ads: Chip Chain at none against Guncho's shown. Chip Chain also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Guncho's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (2K vs 98). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chip Chain sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Guncho sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Chip Chain against 4.7 for Guncho. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guncho has 2K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of Chip Chain's written reviews are positive against 82% of Guncho's.

Chip Chain ships an update every 5 weeks, Guncho weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
