ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BonChat holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BonChat has 60K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of QTConnect's written reviews are positive against 56% of BonChat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QTConnect ships an update monthly, BonChat every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
