Direct Chat vs Mocca

Direct ​Chat is a simple ​AI chat app powered by Gemini designed for quick, direct answers. ​Ask a question, attach images or files when needed, and get concise responses without unnecessary filler. ​Conversations are not saved in the app unless you choose to export them.

Mocca is a native AI chat client for iPhone. Connect your preferred model provider, create your own assistants, and chat, write, and explore ideas in one simple space. Make it your own • Connect compatible model providers with your own API keys • Create one-to-one conversations and group chats with multiple assistants • Read replies in natural paragraphs, with customizable bubble spacing in single and group chats • Share images and files, with support for Markdown, syntax-highlighted code, math, and tables • Use optional web search, speech playback, and MCP tools • Customize assistant prompts, recent memory, and worldbooks • Keep track of background generation with Live Activities • Store chats locally on your device, with import, export, and backup options Mocca is a client, not a model service. You will need a compatible third-party provider and your own API key. Provider availability, supported features, and usage charges depend on the service you choose. You can also support development with optional tips. Tips do not unlock additional chat features and do not renew automatically. Your first purchase at a given tier includes a commemorative cosmetic; repeat purchases at that tier do not add new cosmetics.
