# ひま友チャット vs Dango

The clearest difference is rating: ひま友チャット at 4.6 against Dango's 3.5. ひま友チャット also leads on ratings volume (31 vs 2). Dango's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ひま友チャット sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Dango asks for nothing beyond the download.

ひま友チャット holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ひま友チャット has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of ひま友チャット's written reviews are positive against 25% of Dango's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ひま友チャット ships an update every 2 weeks, Dango every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
