# MeChat vs Chat Master

The clearest difference is ads: Chat Master at none against MeChat's shown. Chat Master also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 58%). MeChat's advantage is ratings volume (98K vs 785) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MeChat sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Chat Master sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for MeChat against 4.6 for Chat Master. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeChat has 98K ratings behind it against 785, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of MeChat's written reviews are positive against 67% of Chat Master's.

MeChat ships an update every 3 weeks, Chat Master every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
