# Chi vs VOGUE ITALIA

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chi at 68% against VOGUE ITALIA's 13%. Chi also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5). VOGUE ITALIA's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (69 vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chi sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and VOGUE ITALIA sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chi holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VOGUE ITALIA has 69 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Chi's written reviews are positive against 13% of VOGUE ITALIA's.

Chi ships an update every 6 months, VOGUE ITALIA every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
