# Openchat vs AI Chat Assistant

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Openchat at 81% against AI Chat Assistant's 41%. Openchat also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 739). AI Chat Assistant's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Openchat sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and AI Chat Assistant sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Openchat holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Openchat has 4.4K ratings behind it against 739, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Openchat's written reviews are positive against 41% of AI Chat Assistant's.

Openchat ships an update every 3 weeks, AI Chat Assistant weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
