Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ChatPrivate at 95% against Text ON's 39%. ChatPrivate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). Text ON's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ChatPrivate sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $20.49 per month and Text ON sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Text ON holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text ON has 2.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of ChatPrivate's written reviews are positive against 39% of Text ON's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ChatPrivate ships an update every 5 months, Text ON monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
