Read the chart. Make your move. See what happens next. ChartGame is a trading-practice game with virtual money, historical stock and crypto replays, daily challenges, and short chart missions. PLAY PATTERN QUEST Play three-round missions to spot evidence, mark price levels, catch near misses, and choose your next move. Build combos, earn medals, and improve your personal best without a countdown or lives. Campaign chapters introduce candles, trends, price zones, risk planning, range breakouts, breakout retests, trend pullbacks, and failed breakouts. Choose Quick Play for a mix of unlocked practice skills. Try Skill Challenges on unseen charts to demonstrate what you learned. Open Rules & examples to compare historical cases against the same pattern definitions. A risk drill comes before executable trading exercises. Quest points reward decisions and evidence; profit and speed do not earn points. Quest progress stays separate from your trading career and is saved on your device. REPLAY THE MARKET Reveal historical stock and crypto charts one candle at a time. The ticker stays hidden while you decide, then the result reveals the market behind the chart. Try simulated long or short positions and compare your return with buy-and-hold. Included replay charts and Pattern Quest work offline. BUILD YOUR STRATEGY Inspect candles, use technical indicators and drawing tools, and try simulated market, limit, stop, stop-limit, and trailing-stop orders. Review your results and practice again. TAKE THE DAILY CHALLENGE Play the assigned chart and compare results with players in the same challenge version. Explore public rankings and follow other players. PRACTICE WITH LIVE CRYPTO PRICES Manage a virtual portfolio using live crypto market data. Orders and fills are simulated inside ChartGame; no order is sent to an exchange. An internet connection is required, and order entry pauses when a usable current price is unavailable. CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER Pick from 24 illustrated mascot avatars, all available immediately, or choose a photo for your device. Existing avatar selections are preserved. Built-in avatar identities can appear in public profiles; your selected photo stays local. No email registration is required. Online features use a guest-account identifier and public nickname. Rankings, live prices, market news, and account deletion need an internet connection. Profile includes reporting, blocking, and account deletion controls. ChartGame does not accept deposits, provide withdrawals, connect a brokerage account, or execute real-money trades. Simulated performance does not predict real trading results.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ChartGame at none against BudMi's shown. ChartGame also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
