# Turn vs Carisma AI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Carisma AI at 100% against Turn's 54%. Carisma AI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8). Turn's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Turn sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per 7 days and Carisma AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Carisma AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Turn has 2.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Turn's written reviews are positive against 100% of Carisma AI's.

Turn ships an update weekly, Carisma AI every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
