Welcome to SHASHA, a Gulf production platform with global ambitions, headquartered in London. The founders of SHASHA believe that the Gulf drama is still fine, despite the state of frustration that has prevailed most of Gulf series recently. Yet passion, planning, and ambition guarantee - God willing - that this drama will return to the top of the race. SHASHA presents works of art with a different character in terms of story and image. The stories we create are keen to be of high artistic value and inspired by the reality we live in and stories that have not been circulated or shed light on. They may be bold topics sometimes and other times simple topics, but they carry with them what is deep, regardless of the subject of the artistic plot, all of our stories feature the most important factor in the equation: entertainment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChaChat at none against SHASHA's 10. SHASHA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (21K vs 9). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SHASHA sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. ChaChat asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for SHASHA against 4.7 for ChaChat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SHASHA has 21K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on November 14, 2026.
