Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ULLU at 3.0 against Talkies's 2.0. ULLU also leads on ratings volume (221 vs 4). Talkies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (27% vs 13%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
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. ULLU sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Talkies sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ULLU holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ULLU has 221 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of ULLU's written reviews are positive against 27% of Talkies's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ULLU ships an update every 6 weeks, Talkies every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
