Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Chill at 5.4K against The Wisdom Tree's 12. The Wisdom Tree's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Chill sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Wisdom Tree sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Chill against 5.0 for The Wisdom Tree. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chill has 5.4K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of Chill's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Wisdom Tree's.
Chill ships an update monthly, The Wisdom Tree fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
