# My Talking Tom+ vs Cityscapes

The clearest difference is rating: Cityscapes at 4.7 against My Talking Tom+'s 3.9. Cityscapes also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 529). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Cityscapes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cityscapes has 12K ratings behind it against 529, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of My Talking Tom+'s written reviews are positive against 53% of Cityscapes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Talking Tom+ ships an update every 6 months, Cityscapes monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
