Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Bestie at free with in-app purchases against TextTea's subscription. Bestie also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1). TextTea's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Bestie sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and TextTea sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TextTea holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bestie has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
