# AI Chat Bot Assistant vs ChatGPT

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChatGPT at 12M against AI Chat Bot Assistant's 1.1K. ChatGPT also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#1 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Chat Bot Assistant sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and ChatGPT sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for AI Chat Bot Assistant against 4.8 for ChatGPT. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatGPT has 12M ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AI Chat Bot Assistant ships an update fortnightly, ChatGPT every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
