# Tok vs ChatBeam

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tok at 50% against ChatBeam's 0%. Tok also leads on rating (3.2 vs 1.0) and ads (none vs shown). ChatBeam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tok sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and ChatBeam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tok holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tok has 36 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Tok's written reviews are positive against 0% of ChatBeam's.

Tok ships an update every 4 weeks, ChatBeam every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
