# Utopia vs stdout.chat

The clearest difference is ads: stdout.chat at none against Utopia's shown. Utopia's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Utopia sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and stdout.chat sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Utopia against 5.0 for stdout.chat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Utopia has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Utopia ships an update every 8 days, stdout.chat every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
