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. SongFixer™ sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and JustChords sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
JustChords holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JustChords has 348 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SongFixer™'s written reviews are positive against 94% of JustChords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SongFixer™ ships an update every 3 months, JustChords every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
