Chat Hoarding vs Decipher Chat

Name: Chat Hoarding
Brand: Chat Hoarding
Price: 99 USD
Availability: InStock

Save and view WhatsApp messages from an iPhone iTunes/Finder backup, on Mac or PC

Decipher Chat reads WhatsApp messages out of an iPhone backup made by iTunes or Finder, and lets you save them as PDF or print them. Chat Hoarding goes after the Android Crypt15 backup and packages everything (DB + media + receipts + contacts) into a portable .tarc archive. Different source side, different output side.

Where Decipher Chat shines

Mature Mac product from Decipher Tools
Cheap one-time license
Free preview before buying

Where it falls short for the archive case

iPhone backup only; does not read Android WhatsApp
Requires a recent iTunes/Finder backup to exist
Output is print/save (PDF), not a long-term browsable archive
No companion app
No per-recipient receipt detail in PDF

Verdict

If your source is iPhone and you need a quick PDF, Decipher Chat is the right tool. If your source is Android and you want a permanent, browsable, machine-verifiable archive instead of a one-shot PDF, that's Chat Hoarding's lane.
