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 clearest difference is rating: squo at 5.0 against Sugar's 2.4. Sugar's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
