Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Chara at 113 against BubbleChat's 6. BubbleChat's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. BubbleChat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Chara sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chara holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chara has 113 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of BubbleChat's written reviews are positive against 91% of Chara's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
