Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lucidchart at 4.6 against Genogram Creator's 4.0. Lucidchart also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 5). Genogram Creator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lucidchart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lucidchart has 5.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Lucidchart's written reviews are positive against 50% of Genogram Creator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lucidchart ships an update every 2 months, Genogram Creator every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
