# ChatPrivate vs GB Version 2025

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ChatPrivate at 95% against GB Version 2025's 30%. ChatPrivate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). GB Version 2025's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChatPrivate sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $20.49 per month and GB Version 2025 sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GB Version 2025 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GB Version 2025 has 558 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 30% of GB Version 2025's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ChatPrivate ships an update every 5 months, GB Version 2025 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
