# ChatPod vs SpeakApp AI

ChatPod and SpeakApp AI both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of SpeakApp AI's written reviews are positive against 57% of ChatPod's. SpeakApp AI also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChatPod sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and SpeakApp AI sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. 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 ChatPod against 4.6 for SpeakApp AI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpeakApp AI has 9.7K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of ChatPod's written reviews are positive against 87% of SpeakApp AI's.

ChatPod ships an update every 3 weeks, SpeakApp AI weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
