# Lucidchart vs WikiTree Sourcer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WikiTree Sourcer at 83% against Lucidchart's 21%. WikiTree Sourcer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). Lucidchart's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 3) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lucidchart sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. WikiTree Sourcer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lucidchart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lucidchart has 5.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Lucidchart's written reviews are positive against 83% of WikiTree Sourcer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lucidchart ships an update every 2 months, WikiTree Sourcer every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
