# Chat AI ㅤ vs ChatGPT

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChatGPT at 11M against Chat AI ㅤ's 1.1K. ChatGPT also leads on chart position (#1 vs unranked). Chat AI ㅤ's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chat AI ㅤ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ChatGPT sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Chat AI ㅤ against 4.8 for ChatGPT. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatGPT has 11M ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Chat AI ㅤ's written reviews are positive against 70% of ChatGPT's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
