# IM+ Instant Messenger vs Dual Messenger+

The clearest difference is rating: Dual Messenger+ at 4.5 against IM+ Instant Messenger's 3.5. Dual Messenger+ also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (322K vs 10). IM+ Instant Messenger's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 42%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IM+ Instant Messenger sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Dual Messenger+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dual Messenger+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dual Messenger+ has 322K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of IM+ Instant Messenger's written reviews are positive against 42% of Dual Messenger+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

IM+ Instant Messenger ships an update every 5 weeks, Dual Messenger+ every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
