The best interactive experience for communities. Chatter is where communities actually meet. Live, in real time, in rooms you can walk straight into. Not a feed you scroll past, but a place where your people are already talking. WALK INTO A ROOM THAT IS ALREADY LIVE Open the app and something is on. Live audio and video rooms with a stage, an audience, and a hand you can raise. Swipe from room to room until you find your conversation. YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY IN ONE PLACE (NEW) Groups have been rebuilt. Group chat, live rooms, clips and members, all together in one home. Rooms end, but the conversation does not: every room leaves a thread your members can pick straight back up. NEVER MISS WHAT IS NEXT (NEW) Browse upcoming rooms and RSVP once. We bring you back the moment it starts. See who usually shows up before you commit. THE MOMENTS YOUR COMMUNITY MADE The best bits of a live room, clipped and kept. Save them, share them, replay them anytime. Audio and video, always tied to the group they came from. GET PAID FOR WHAT YOU BUILD Members can send you tips live, in the room, while you host. Create subscriber only groups, sell tickets to premium events, and offer layered membership perks. Turn your community into something sustainable, with no middlemen. WATCH PARTIES Watch YouTube together, live and in sync, right inside your live room. Talk over it, react to it, and clip the best moments to share. No screen sharing, no setup, all from your phone. ROCKETCHATS Premium, high visibility messages that rise above the noise in chats and comments. Perfect for reactions, shoutouts, or sparking a conversation, with built in creator support. DISCOVER BY WHAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT Every post, Moment and conversation is rooted in a group, so you find people through shared interests rather than follower counts. CREATOR TOOLS Track engagement, earnings and performance in real time. Multi streaming, analytics and personalization built in. WHO IT IS FOR Community builders tired of shouting into a noisy feed. Creators who want to earn beyond likes and follows. Anyone who wants to find their people and be part of something as it happens. This is social. This is Chatter Social.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Genuin at none against Chatter Social's 16. Genuin also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%). Chatter Social's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chatter Social holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chatter Social has 435 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Genuin's written reviews are positive against 73% of Chatter Social's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Genuin ships an update fortnightly, Chatter Social every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
