# Bots vs Chatbot Assistant

Bots and Chatbot Assistant both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Chatbot Assistant's written reviews are positive against 43% of Bots's. Chatbot Assistant also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Bots's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 225). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bots sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Chatbot Assistant sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bots has 1.3K ratings behind it against 225, so its average is the more settled of the two.
