# Talking Scripts vs Weekend Read 2

Talking Scripts and Weekend Read 2 both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Talking Scripts's written reviews are positive against 43% of Weekend Read 2's. Talking Scripts also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Weekend Read 2's advantage is ratings volume (128 vs 23). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Scripts sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Weekend Read 2 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weekend Read 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekend Read 2 has 128 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Talking Scripts's written reviews are positive against 43% of Weekend Read 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Talking Scripts ships an update weekly, Weekend Read 2 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
