# SendHype vs ChatAssist

SendHype and ChatAssist both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of ChatAssist's written reviews are positive against 59% of SendHype's. ChatAssist also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and device support (3 vs 1). SendHype's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 204). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SendHype sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and ChatAssist sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. 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 SendHype against 4.7 for ChatAssist. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SendHype has 1.7K ratings behind it against 204, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of SendHype's written reviews are positive against 86% of ChatAssist's.

SendHype ships an update fortnightly, ChatAssist weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
