ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Transcription Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transcription Pro has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ChatMate+'s written reviews are positive against 81% of Transcription Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ChatMate+ ships an update weekly, Transcription Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
