# MeChat vs Love Choice

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MeChat at 58% against Love Choice's 14%. MeChat also leads on ratings volume (98K vs 49) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). Love Choice's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads 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 Love Choice sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Love Choice holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeChat has 98K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of MeChat's written reviews are positive against 14% of Love Choice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MeChat ships an update every 3 weeks, Love Choice every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
