# Wallpapers vs ChatWallpapers

The clearest difference is ads: ChatWallpapers at none against Wallpapers's shown. ChatWallpapers also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). Wallpapers's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wallpapers sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and ChatWallpapers sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ChatWallpapers holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wallpapers has 119 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Wallpapers's written reviews are positive against 65% of ChatWallpapers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wallpapers ships an update every 3 weeks, ChatWallpapers every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
