# US Mobile vs AirTalk Wireless

The clearest difference is rating: AirTalk Wireless at 4.5 against US Mobile's 4.0. AirTalk Wireless also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 1.8K) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). US Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 45%) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

AirTalk Wireless holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirTalk Wireless has 17K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of US Mobile's written reviews are positive against 45% of AirTalk Wireless's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

US Mobile ships an update every 8 days, AirTalk Wireless weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
