Import or enter a melody, choose the musical context, generate a four-part draft, review voice leading, hear playback, and export PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML for rehearsal or further editing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: CantuStudio at every 2 days against Chord Navigator's every 11 days. Chord Navigator's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
