Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SLAY CHALLENGE at 100% against TED Talks's 44%. SLAY CHALLENGE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). TED Talks's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SLAY CHALLENGE sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.49 per month. TED Talks asks for nothing beyond the download.
SLAY CHALLENGE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TED Talks has 10K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of TED Talks's written reviews are positive against 100% of SLAY CHALLENGE's.
TED Talks ships an update every 2 weeks, SLAY CHALLENGE every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
