# CHSN vs Publinx

The clearest difference is rating: Publinx at 5.0 against CHSN's 4.3. Publinx also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). CHSN's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 1) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

Publinx holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CHSN has 3.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

CHSN ships an update fortnightly, Publinx every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
