# Prayer Circle vs CrossTalk

The clearest difference is rating: CrossTalk at 4.9 against Prayer Circle's 2.0. CrossTalk also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Prayer Circle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CrossTalk sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Prayer Circle asks for nothing beyond the download.

CrossTalk holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrossTalk has 4.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Prayer Circle's written reviews are positive against 83% of CrossTalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Prayer Circle ships an update every 2 days, CrossTalk every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
