# Chatta vs Call.com

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chatta at none against Call.com's 10. Chatta also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). Call.com's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (825 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Call.com sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Chatta asks for nothing beyond the download.

Chatta holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Call.com has 825 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Chatta ships an update every 3 months, Call.com fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
