# Cuff vs VChat

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VChat at 100% against Cuff's 61%. VChat also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). Cuff's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cuff sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. VChat asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cuff holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cuff has 11K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Cuff's written reviews are positive against 100% of VChat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cuff ships an update every 3 days, VChat every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
