# Chat AI Plus vs ChatBox

The clearest difference is ads: Chat AI Plus at none against ChatBox's shown. ChatBox's advantage is ratings volume (165K vs 1.7K) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chat AI Plus sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and ChatBox sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Chat AI Plus against 4.6 for ChatBox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatBox has 165K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Chat AI Plus's written reviews are positive against 48% of ChatBox's.

Chat AI Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, ChatBox every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
