Charts vs CodePad
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side ā with what reviewers say about each.
Charts

Charts follows any app or game through the top charts of the major app and game stores, and tells you the moment something moves. BROWSE EVERY CHART See the live top charts for four stores, by country, by category, and by free, paid or grossing. Tap anything for a real page: screenshots, description, what's new, price, and for games, the trailer and the recommendation split. Apps add star ratings and the reviews people are actually leaving, pooled worldwide rather than from one storefront. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Add anything to your watchlist and Charts scans the storefronts daily. You get its best rank, every country it charts in, how far it has moved, and a history you can scrub through country by country. Group your watchlist however you think about it: your apps, your competitors, the ones you are just curious about. ALERTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY USEFUL Push when something enters a chart, hits a new best, passes a milestone, or drops out. Push when a price changes: free, on sale, sale ended, cut, or raised, with a minimum discount so a ten pence drop stays quiet. Set your defaults once, then override them for any single app. YOUR OWN NUMBERS, PRIVATELY Connect an App Store Connect key and Charts shows what only you can see: downloads, first-time installs, redownloads, updates, proceeds, in-app purchases, subscriptions and refunds. Over the last day, week, month or quarter, with the change against the period before, your top territories, devices and versions, and a per-app breakdown. Apple pays in dozens of currencies. Charts converts them all into the one you think in, refreshed daily. Your key is stored in the iPhone keychain. Your reports are read straight from Apple, parsed on the device, and never sent anywhere. There is no account to create and no server holding your sales. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Four widgets: your watchlist at a glance, your best rank on the lock screen, and downloads and proceeds from App Store Connect, each configurable by app and by measure. BADGES WORTH SHARING Turn a placement, a rating, a launch or a good week into something you can post. Sixteen designs in two complete styles, from a wireframe globe plotting your rank to a printed standings docket, plus badges for your download and proceeds figures. Export a still or a rendered video, straight to the share sheet or your photo library. BUILT PROPERLY Native SwiftUI, adaptive light and dark, no ads, no tracking, no account. Charts asks for exactly as much as it needs and nothing else.
