Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Not the Bee at Free against Talk About's $2.99. Not the Bee also leads on ratings volume (7.6K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Talk About's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
