# Char.AI vs This User

The clearest difference is rating: This User at 5.0 against Char.AI's 3.9. This User also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Char.AI's advantage is ratings volume (143 vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Char.AI sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and This User sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

This User holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Char.AI has 143 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Char.AI ships an update fortnightly, This User every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
