Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Name Chat at 4.6 against Provenance App's 3.3. Name Chat also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 46%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Provenance App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (751 vs 24). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Name Chat sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Provenance App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Name Chat holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Provenance App has 751 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Name Chat's written reviews are positive against 46% of Provenance App's.
Name Chat ships an update every 3 days, Provenance App every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
