# Manychat vs Boards.com

The clearest difference is rating: Boards.com at 4.8 against Manychat's 4.3. Boards.com also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 39%) and ratings volume (21K vs 2.2K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manychat sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $17.00 per month and Boards.com sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boards.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boards.com has 21K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Manychat's written reviews are positive against 67% of Boards.com's.

Manychat ships an update every 8 days, Boards.com weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
