Why are our messages with friends constrained to generic green and blue chat bubbles? It’s time to add some color (and chaos) to your conversations with Sugar. On Sugar, chat outside the box by dropping text, images, GIFs, videos, and drawings anywhere on the unlimited canvas. Pick a text style as unique as your own voice (or keep it old school with a green or blue bubble). On Sugar, conversation is art.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Netcreme at 5.0 against Sugar's 2.4. Netcreme also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 days). Sugar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
