DingPlay helps you find players who match your playstyle, games, and platforms. Tired of jumping between servers, forums, and social networks just to find someone who plays the same game, on the same platform, with the same goals? DingPlay was built to make this simple, fast, and stress-free. ------------------------------------------ Create or join game lobbies Create a lobby for a specific game and platform, describe exactly what you want to do (casual, competitive, co-op, ranked, chill sessions, etc.), and let other players join you. You can also browse existing lobbies and instantly join players who match your expectations. ------------------------------------------ Chat and connect easily Each lobby comes with a built-in chat, allowing you to talk with players before and during your session. Once you’ve had a great game together, add players to your friends list and play again anytime. ------------------------------------------ Favorite games & smart notifications Add up to 10 of your favorite or most played games. Whenever someone creates a lobby for a game in your favorites list, you’ll receive a notification so you never miss a good opportunity to play. ------------------------------------------ Stay informed Get notified when: - Someone wants to join your lobby - Your invitation is accepted - You receive new chat messages - A new lobby is created for one of your favorite games ------------------------------------------ Play without pressure DingPlay is also perfect if you’re shy or uncomfortable joining large servers or social networks. Instead of searching and introducing yourself over and over again, DingPlay helps players find you, based on what you want to play and how you want to play. No awkward introductions. No wasted time. Just launch DingPlay, find your mates, and enjoy your game.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dingplay at none against Chalk's 1. Dingplay also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
