# MeChat vs DokiDoki

The clearest difference is rating: MeChat at 4.6 against DokiDoki's 3.8. MeChat also leads on ratings volume (98K vs 16) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). DokiDoki's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MeChat sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and DokiDoki sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MeChat holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeChat has 98K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of MeChat's written reviews are positive against 100% of DokiDoki'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, DokiDoki every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
