# Assistive Express vs TalkTextChat

The clearest difference is price: TalkTextChat at Free against Assistive Express's $19.99. TalkTextChat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2). Assistive Express's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

TalkTextChat is free to download; Assistive Express costs $19.99 up front. Assistive Express sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and TalkTextChat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TalkTextChat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Assistive Express has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
