# CHSN vs PickMarket

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PickMarket at 100% against CHSN's 26%. PickMarket also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). CHSN's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 5) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CHSN sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. PickMarket asks for nothing beyond the download.

PickMarket holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CHSN has 3.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of CHSN's written reviews are positive against 100% of PickMarket's.

CHSN ships an update fortnightly, PickMarket every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
