# Chingari vs Bantar

The clearest difference is rating: Bantar at 5.0 against Chingari's 4.4. Bantar also leads on ads (none vs shown). Chingari's advantage is ratings volume (216 vs 2) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chingari sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Bantar sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bantar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chingari has 216 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Chingari ships an update every 2 weeks, Bantar every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
