Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LLM at 4.3 against PrivateGPT's 2.9. LLM also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). PrivateGPT's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PrivateGPT sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. LLM asks for nothing beyond the download.
LLM holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of LLM's written reviews are positive against 71% of PrivateGPT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LLM ships an update every 2 months, PrivateGPT every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
