# Talking Pet vs Pet Translate

The clearest difference is rating: Pet Translate at 4.5 against Talking Pet's 3.9. Pet Translate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 27 months). Talking Pet's advantage is ratings volume (78 vs 4) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Pet sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months and Pet Translate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pet Translate holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Pet has 78 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of Talking Pet's written reviews are positive against 43% of Pet Translate's.

Talking Pet ships an update every 27 months, Pet Translate every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
