Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TradeFlags at 5.0 against ChartTreker's 4.5. TradeFlags also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). ChartTreker's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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. ChartTreker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. TradeFlags asks for nothing beyond the download.
TradeFlags holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of ChartTreker's written reviews are positive against 67% of TradeFlags's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ChartTreker ships an update every 6 weeks, TradeFlags every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
