# ABTurns vs ChatUp

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ABTurns at none against ChatUp's 10. ABTurns also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). ChatUp's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and ratings volume (33 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChatUp sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. ABTurns asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for ABTurns against 4.9 for ChatUp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChatUp has 33 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
