Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PhoneSpeak at none against Phoring's 9. PhoneSpeak also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (51 vs 5). Phoring's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 67%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PhoneSpeak holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhoneSpeak has 51 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PhoneSpeak's written reviews are positive against 75% of Phoring's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PhoneSpeak ships an update every 3 months, Phoring every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
