# Rapchat vs MicSwap

The clearest difference is update cadence: Rapchat at every 3 days against MicSwap's every 5 weeks. Rapchat also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (99K vs 6.8K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rapchat sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and MicSwap sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rapchat holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rapchat has 99K ratings behind it against 6.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Rapchat's written reviews are positive against 60% of MicSwap's.

Rapchat ships an update every 3 days, MicSwap every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
