# App Eleven vs TheyChat

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: App Eleven at none against TheyChat's 9. App Eleven also leads on ratings volume (33 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). TheyChat's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TheyChat sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. App Eleven asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for App Eleven against 5.0 for TheyChat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Eleven has 33 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

App Eleven ships an update every 3 weeks, TheyChat every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
