Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ultraviolet Chat at 62% against Switch's 0%. Ultraviolet Chat also leads on ratings volume (721 vs 2). Switch's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Switch sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Ultraviolet Chat sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Switch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ultraviolet Chat has 721 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Switch's written reviews are positive against 62% of Ultraviolet Chat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Switch ships an update every 3 days, Ultraviolet Chat every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
