Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Texter at 4.6 against SLYTALK's 1.0. Texter also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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. Texter sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and SLYTALK sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Texter holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Texter has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Texter ships an update monthly, SLYTALK every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
