# Chat API vs SendMan

The clearest difference is rating: SendMan at 5.0 against Chat API's 4.2. SendMan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Chat API's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chat API sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and SendMan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SendMan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chat API has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Chat API's written reviews are positive against 100% of SendMan's.

Chat API ships an update weekly, SendMan every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
