# Talk to Myself vs Self

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Talk to Myself at 100% against Self's 57%. Talk to Myself also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Self's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Self sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Talk to Myself asks for nothing beyond the download.

Self holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Self has 267 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Talk to Myself's written reviews are positive against 57% of Self's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Talk to Myself ships an update every 6 weeks, Self weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
