Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 9th now at none against AI Chat's 1. 9th now also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). AI Chat's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AI Chat sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. 9th now asks for nothing beyond the download.
9th now holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Chat has 1.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of 9th now's written reviews are positive against 69% of AI Chat's.
9th now ships an update every 19 months, AI Chat every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
