# Hello AI vs Chat AI

The clearest difference is monetization model: Chat AI at freemium against Hello AI's subscription. Chat AI also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Hello AI's advantage is ratings volume (54K vs 15K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hello AI sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Chat AI sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chat AI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 54K and 15K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Hello AI's written reviews are positive against 58% of Chat AI's.

Hello AI ships an update every 3 weeks, Chat AI monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
