Welcome to VRChat — a virtual world filled with limitless possibilities. Spend your afternoon dogfighting in fighter jets, before winding down in a treehouse that exists floating in a nebula. Make a new best friend while exploring a haunted mansion, right before playing a hand of cards with a robot, alien, and eight-foot tall wolf. In VRChat, there are hundreds of thousands of worlds, millions of avatars – all created by the users. No matter what you’re into, there’s a space in VRChat for you. And if there isn’t, we’ll give you the tools to make your dream a reality. While not required to join in on the fun, VRChat was built to take advantage of VR headsets in many unique ways. That means avatars that flow with your movement, and systems that work alongside various hardware platforms to provide full-body tracking, finger tracking, and much, much more. Even if you’re jumping in on your phone or tablet, you’ll get to experience the magic of hanging out with people that feel like they’re really there – not just some character on a screen! Use the companion app to keep up with your VRChat friends, or launch into a VRChat world to meet new friends right from your iOS device! There’s something magical around every corner. Come take a look, and see what you find. MEET NEW FRIENDS In VRChat, there’s always something to do – and people to meet there. Visit a planetarium and have a chat about astronomy. Go on a virtual hike through a majestic fantasy forest. Pull up to a car meet, and talk shop with some gearheads. Attend a live music event underneath a chemical storage facility, and talk obscure genres with DJs. Your community – whatever it is – is here. GO ON AN ADVENTURE There are thousands of games to play in VRChat. Try running a kitchen in a busy restaurant, or racing go-karts in zero gravity. Fancy a battle royale? We’ve got those, too. Just probably with a wider diversity of avatars than you’ve ever seen before. It doesn’t matter what you like to play: casual card games, shooters, racing, platformers, puzzles, horror, and of course, endless party games. BUILD YOUR DREAMS Everything here was built by the community using the VRChat SDK. Combined with Unity and Udon, our in-house scripting language, we give our users as much power as possible to build whatever their imaginations can conjure up. But creation isn’t just limited to worlds. VRChat provides a level of creative freedom that is unmatched anywhere else, and nowhere is that reflected best than on the avatars of our users. In VRChat, you can be anything, and explore your identity however you’d like. Want to be an alien? A talking dog? A sentient shoe with glowing bits that react to the beat of music by changing color? I mean, sure, if that’s what you’re about. VRChat is free to download and play on compatible devices. Subscribing to VRC+ grants access to enhanced features.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Project Kinesis at 5.0 against VRChat's 4.4. Project Kinesis also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). VRChat's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 1) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
