Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EXFO TestFlow at 2.0 against TalonView's 1.2. EXFO TestFlow also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). TalonView's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (49 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EXFO TestFlow holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TalonView has 49 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of TalonView's written reviews are positive against 0% of EXFO TestFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TalonView ships an update every 2 weeks, EXFO TestFlow every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
