Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NumberBox at 4.5 against Peer Chat's 3.8. NumberBox also leads on ratings volume (547 vs 9) and chart position (#55 vs unranked). Peer Chat's advantage is iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NumberBox holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NumberBox has 547 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Peer Chat's written reviews are positive against 61% of NumberBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
