Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: IL at free with in-app purchases against Chi's subscription. IL also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Chi's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 50%) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chi sells 109 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and IL sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Chi against 5.0 for IL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chi has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Chi's written reviews are positive against 50% of IL's.
