# XLR8 vs Chat.txt

The clearest difference is price: Chat.txt at Free against XLR8's $4.99. Chat.txt also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). XLR8's advantage is ratings volume (168 vs 1) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Chat.txt is free to download; XLR8 costs $4.99 up front. XLR8 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Chat.txt asks for nothing beyond the download.
