# Lure vs Interactive Chat Stories

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Interactive Chat Stories at 100% against Lure's 28%. Interactive Chat Stories also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Lure's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lure sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Interactive Chat Stories sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Interactive Chat Stories holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lure has 10K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Lure's written reviews are positive against 100% of Interactive Chat Stories's.
