# PDFGenius vs Talk Fast

The clearest difference is rating: Talk Fast at 5.0 against PDFGenius's 4.3. Talk Fast also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). PDFGenius's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PDFGenius sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Talk Fast sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Talk Fast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDFGenius has 35 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of PDFGenius's written reviews are positive against 100% of Talk Fast's.

PDFGenius ships an update every 4 months, Talk Fast every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
