# Hello AI vs Chatbot

The clearest difference is monetization model: Chatbot at free with in-app purchases against Hello AI's subscription. Chatbot also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Hello AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (54K vs 127). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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 Chatbot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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 127, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Hello AI's written reviews are positive against 47% of 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 September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
