# Talking Tom Cat 2 vs LALA Stories

The clearest difference is ads: LALA Stories at none against Talking Tom Cat 2's shown. LALA Stories also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Talking Tom Cat 2's advantage is ratings volume (57K vs 26) and review sentiment (71% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Tom Cat 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and LALA Stories sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LALA Stories 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 26, 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 LALA Stories'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, LALA Stories every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
