# Cue vs Genogram Creator

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cue at free with in-app purchases against Genogram Creator's subscription. Cue also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 5). Genogram Creator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 37%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cue sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Genogram Creator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cue holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cue has 3.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Cue'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.

Cue ships an update weekly, Genogram Creator every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
