# Újbuda vs Telex

The clearest difference is rating: Újbuda at 5.0 against Telex's 3.5. Újbuda also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Telex's advantage is review sentiment (37% vs 0%) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Újbuda holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Telex has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Újbuda's written reviews are positive against 37% of Telex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Újbuda ships an update every 2 months, Telex every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 19, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
