LLLM
Read full descriptionHide full description
Chat app compatible with Ollama and self-hosted models. It needs an Ollama server running and adding the endpoint in the model settings. All the information saved is local, everything is private, and no account is needed. It supports message streaming and markdown. It could also work with models served without Ollama, but that has not been tested.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Local AI Chat at every 5 weeks against LLLM's every 3 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
