# 하이바이 vs 아챗

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 아챗 at 82% against 하이바이's 0%. 아챗 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). 하이바이's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 하이바이 sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and 아챗 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

아챗 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 아챗 has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of 하이바이's written reviews are positive against 82% of 아챗's.

하이바이 ships an update every 11 days, 아챗 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
