# Talking Tom Cat 2 vs Talkr

The clearest difference is ads: Talkr at none against Talking Tom Cat 2's shown. Talkr also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Talking Tom Cat 2's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 60%) and ratings volume (57K vs 8.8K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Tom Cat 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Talkr sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Talkr holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talking Tom Cat 2 has 57K ratings behind it against 8.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Talking Tom Cat 2's written reviews are positive against 60% of Talkr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Talking Tom Cat 2 ships an update every 3 months, Talkr every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
