ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TalkTree holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of BIGBOX's written reviews are positive against 63% of TalkTree's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BIGBOX ships an update every 2 weeks, TalkTree every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
