# CHI311 vs BluSKY

The clearest difference is rating: BluSKY at 3.8 against CHI311's 2.5. BluSKY also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). CHI311's advantage is ratings volume (235 vs 5) and review sentiment (14% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

BluSKY holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CHI311 has 235 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of CHI311's written reviews are positive against 0% of BluSKY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CHI311 ships an update every 3 weeks, BluSKY every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
