# DeepChat vs Nova

The clearest difference is rating: Nova at 4.6 against DeepChat's 3.9. Nova also leads on ratings volume (273 vs 19) and review sentiment (75% vs 65%). DeepChat's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DeepChat sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Nova sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nova holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nova has 273 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of DeepChat's written reviews are positive against 75% of Nova's.

DeepChat ships an update every 4 days, Nova weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
