# Talon vs Preloop

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Preloop at none against Talon's 6. Preloop also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Talon's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talon sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Preloop asks for nothing beyond the download.

Preloop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talon has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
