# Speaky vs SmallTalk

The clearest difference is rating: Speaky at 4.0 against SmallTalk's 1.0. Speaky also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 1). SmallTalk's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 15%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Speaky holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speaky has 3.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Speaky's written reviews are positive against 50% of SmallTalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
