Both are free to download. Yik Yak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Greco | Group Chat asks for nothing beyond the download.
Greco | Group Chat holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yik Yak has 52K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Yik Yak's written reviews are positive against 0% of Greco | Group Chat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
