# ChatSpace vs Hooplo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hooplo at 100% against ChatSpace's 16%. Hooplo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). ChatSpace's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 6) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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

ChatSpace holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatSpace has 4.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of ChatSpace's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hooplo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ChatSpace ships an update fortnightly, Hooplo weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
