Memish is a chat app with one rule: no words. All memes. If you want to say something, you say it with a meme. Turns out that covers most things. TALK IN MEMES Start a one-to-one chat or a group squad. Send a meme, react with an emoji, or reply with another meme. Read receipts stay off unless you and your friend both switch them on. MAKE THE MEME Pull a photo from your camera roll or start from a built-in template. Add captions in four meme fonts, drop stickers and emoji, crop to 1:1, 4:5 or 9:16, and adjust brightness and saturation. Post it publicly, keep it private, or send it straight into a chat. FIND SOMETHING TO SEND Tap Send a meme in a chat to open Make a meme. Start with a photo, search Community templates by name, mood, or reaction, or find a GIF with GIPHY. SEE WHAT IS HITTING Trending ranks the best public memes today, this week and all time. Open any meme full screen to react, save it, or fire it into a chat. YOUR CORNER Your profile keeps a daily meme streak going, alongside your memes sent, chats and laughs. Your library is yours — flip any meme public or keep it to yourself. FIND YOUR PEOPLE Match your contacts to see who is already meming. Your address book is never stored. Or send someone an invite link and start a chat the moment they land. KEPT CLEAN Every meme is screened automatically before it can go public. Report anything in one tap, block anyone, and delete your account for good from Settings whenever you want. MEMISH PRO Everything above is free. Pro removes the “memish.app” watermark from the memes you make. That is the whole list, and we would rather say so plainly than pad it. Memish Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Memish at none against KinChat's shown. KinChat's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
