# Google vs ChatVision

The clearest difference is ads: ChatVision at none against Google's shown. Google's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 32%) and ratings volume (5.1M vs 1.5K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and ChatVision sells 13 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 — 4.6 for Google against 4.6 for ChatVision. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google has 5.1M ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Google's written reviews are positive against 32% of ChatVision's.

Google ships an update every 5 days, ChatVision every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
