Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Toastmost at 100% against TED Talks's 44%. Toastmost also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). TED Talks's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Toastmost 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 1, 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 Toastmost's.
TED Talks ships an update every 2 weeks, Toastmost every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
