Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snapverter at none against TouchChat Discover's 11. Snapverter also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). TouchChat Discover's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Snapverter holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 100 and 41 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of TouchChat Discover's written reviews are positive against 0% of Snapverter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
