# Bots vs ChatBox

The clearest difference is ads: Bots at none against ChatBox's shown. Bots also leads on device support (3 vs 1). ChatBox's advantage is ratings volume (165K vs 1.3K) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bots sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and ChatBox sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Bots against 4.6 for ChatBox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatBox has 165K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Bots's written reviews are positive against 48% of ChatBox's.

Bots ships an update every 5 days, ChatBox every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
