# Hello AI vs Chat AI

The clearest difference is monetization model: Chat AI at free with in-app purchases against Hello AI's subscription. Chat AI also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 55%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Hello AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (54K vs 1.5K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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 Chat AI sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hello AI has 54K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Hello AI's written reviews are positive against 89% of Chat AI's.

Hello AI ships an update every 3 weeks, Chat AI every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
