# Push Notification vs Chatium

The clearest difference is rating: Chatium at 4.7 against Push Notification's 4.1. Chatium also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Push Notification's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 52%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Push Notification sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Chatium sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $39.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chatium holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 58 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Push Notification's written reviews are positive against 52% of Chatium's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Push Notification ships an update fortnightly, Chatium daily. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
