Open Jamerator, get a chord progression, press play, and start playing. If friends are around, everyone jams to the same chords on the same beat. RHYTHM Swipe for a fresh progression with the shapes to play it. Swipe back to any jam you've played. Set the tempo, move the key or add a capo, pick a count-in, and hear the guitar, the click, or both. LEAD The scales that fit your progression, lit up on a fretboard. Chord tones highlight as the chart plays so you always know where to land. TUNER A built-in tuner with a fine-tune meter. One tap away, no switching apps. JAM TOGETHER One phone starts a jam and nearby friends join over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. No accounts, no internet. Everyone sees the same chords and starts on the same beat, and anyone can roll the next progression. Made for practice sessions, band rehearsals, and bonfires. Jamerator is free with ads, and a one-time purchase removes them forever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cadence Chords at every 5 days against Jamerator's every 6 weeks. Cadence Chords also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
