# Hello AI vs AI Smart ChatBot

The clearest difference is monetization model: AI Smart ChatBot at free with in-app purchases against Hello AI's subscription. AI Smart ChatBot 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 560) and review sentiment (55% vs 36%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hello AI sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and AI Smart ChatBot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AI Smart ChatBot holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hello AI has 54K ratings behind it against 560, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Hello AI's written reviews are positive against 36% of AI Smart ChatBot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
