# Platform vs Chat Help me

The clearest difference is ads: Platform at none against Chat Help me's shown. Platform also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Chat Help me's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Platform sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Chat Help me sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Platform ships an update every 7 months, Chat Help me every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
