# WhatStats vs Chat Analyzer Message Insights

The clearest difference is rating: WhatStats at 2.8 against Chat Analyzer Message Insights's 1.0. WhatStats also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1). Chat Analyzer Message Insights's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WhatStats sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Chat Analyzer Message Insights sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WhatStats holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WhatStats has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WhatStats ships an update every 6 weeks, Chat Analyzer Message Insights every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
