Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BatChat at 86% against Soul's 28%. Soul's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (10K vs 99). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Soul sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and BatChat sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Soul holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soul has 10K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Soul's written reviews are positive against 86% of BatChat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Soul ships an update weekly, BatChat every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
