# Chapters vs Whispers

Chapters and Whispers both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Chapters's written reviews are positive against 43% of Whispers's. Chapters also leads on chart position (#21 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Whispers's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chapters sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Whispers sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Whispers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 115K and 41K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Chapters's written reviews are positive against 43% of Whispers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Chapters ships an update every 6 weeks, Whispers every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
