Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BonChat holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BonChat has 59K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of BonChat's written reviews are positive against 67% of GeorgeLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BonChat ships an update every 4 weeks, GeorgeLink fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
