Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: IM+ Instant Messenger at 69% against Dual Messenger's 13%. IM+ Instant Messenger also leads on ads (none vs shown). Dual Messenger's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.5) and monetization model (freemium vs subscription). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

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 $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dual Messenger holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dual Messenger has 270 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 13% of Dual Messenger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
