# RataChat vs Hypelist

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RataChat at none against Hypelist's 10. RataChat also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Hypelist's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (445 vs 15). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hypelist sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. RataChat asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hypelist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hypelist has 445 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of RataChat's written reviews are positive against 73% of Hypelist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
