# Chillio vs Takeback

The clearest difference is monetization model: Takeback at free with in-app purchases against Chillio's subscription. Takeback also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (75% vs 52%). Chillio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chillio sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Takeback sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Takeback holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chillio has 3.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of Chillio's written reviews are positive against 75% of Takeback's.

Chillio ships an update every 6 days, Takeback every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
