# stc tv vs ChaChat

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChaChat at none against stc tv's 6. stc tv's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (14K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. stc tv sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. ChaChat asks for nothing beyond the download.
