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. Derbyshire Live sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. TalkingPoints asks for nothing beyond the download.
Derbyshire Live holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Derbyshire Live has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Derbyshire Live's written reviews are positive against 88% of TalkingPoints's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Derbyshire Live ships an update every 3 weeks, TalkingPoints every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
