# Talon vs API Bot

Both are free to download. Talon sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and API Bot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

API Bot holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 17 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Talon's written reviews are positive against 100% of API Bot's.
