# 百灵创作 vs talkmaker

The clearest difference is ads: 百灵创作 at none against talkmaker's shown. 百灵创作 also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 64%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). talkmaker's advantage is ratings volume (522 vs 35). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百灵创作 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and talkmaker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for 百灵创作 against 4.8 for talkmaker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: talkmaker has 522 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 97% of 百灵创作's written reviews are positive against 64% of talkmaker's.

百灵创作 ships an update every 4 days, talkmaker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
