# FakeChat vs Text Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Text Simulator at 4.3 against FakeChat's 3.7. Text Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). FakeChat's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Simulator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. FakeChat asks for nothing beyond the download.

Text Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 42 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of FakeChat's written reviews are positive against 50% of Text Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FakeChat ships an update every 3 months, Text Simulator every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
