Whatsapp or WeChat?

70 million WeChat users by China's Tencent outside the mainland. 250 million for Whatsapp.

Whatsapp finally made us paid the 0.99/year to use. WeChat is free. I am waiting to see if and how many will add WeChat on top of Whatsapp to their phones.

Maybe Whatsapp should just say Yes to Google in marriage.

Even if Whatsapp charges $9.90/year it is still cheap but that's not the point. Users have come to expect certain apps to be free. The link between revenue and service must be indirect. People must be happy to pay or you are just vulnerable.
