# Chatter Social vs Connect Here

The clearest difference is rating: Connect Here at 5.0 against Chatter Social's 4.4. Connect Here also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). Chatter Social's advantage is ratings volume (435 vs 13) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chatter Social sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Connect Here sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Connect Here holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chatter Social has 435 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Chatter Social's written reviews are positive against 100% of Connect Here's.

Chatter Social ships an update every 4 days, Connect Here every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
