# Chat AI vs Chatbot

Chat AI and Chatbot both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Chat AI's written reviews are positive against 47% of Chatbot's. Chat AI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (329K vs 127). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chat AI sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.39 per 7 days and Chatbot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Chat AI against 4.7 for Chatbot. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chat AI has 329K ratings behind it against 127, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Chat AI's written reviews are positive against 47% of Chatbot's.

Chat AI ships an update every 2 weeks, Chatbot every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
