# ChatSpace vs Strangers App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Strangers App at 100% against ChatSpace's 16%. Strangers App also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). ChatSpace's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 14) and chart position (#77 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChatSpace sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Strangers App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Strangers App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatSpace has 4.1K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of ChatSpace's written reviews are positive against 100% of Strangers App's.

ChatSpace ships an update fortnightly, Strangers App every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
