# Write This vs Open Chat

The clearest difference is monetization model: Open Chat at free with in-app purchases against Write This's subscription. Open Chat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.4). Write This's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Write This sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Open Chat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Open Chat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Write This has 2.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Write This ships an update weekly, Open Chat monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
