Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Chatback at free with in-app purchases against ChatterBuddy's subscription. Chatback also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 7). ChatterBuddy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ChatterBuddy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Chatback sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chatback holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chatback has 2.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ChatterBuddy's written reviews are positive against 69% of Chatback's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ChatterBuddy ships an update every 5 days, Chatback every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
