Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chimee at none against Bainu's 12. Chimee also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 65%). Bainu's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bainu sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Chimee asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bainu holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bainu has 62 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Bainu's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chimee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bainu ships an update fortnightly, Chimee every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
