# Talking Scripts vs ScriptE S

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Talking Scripts at 81% against ScriptE S's 33%. Talking Scripts also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (23 vs 3). ScriptE S's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Scripts sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ScriptE S sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScriptE S holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Scripts has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Talking Scripts's written reviews are positive against 33% of ScriptE S's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Talking Scripts ships an update weekly, ScriptE S every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
