# Hello AI vs Chatbot AI Assistant

The clearest difference is monetization model: Chatbot AI Assistant at free with in-app purchases against Hello AI's subscription. Chatbot AI Assistant also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). Hello AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (54K vs 1K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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 AI Assistant sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chatbot AI Assistant 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 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Hello AI's written reviews are positive against 52% of Chatbot AI Assistant'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 October 28, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
