# Talking Car vs Car Sounds

The clearest difference is rating: Car Sounds at 4.4 against Talking Car's 3.8. Car Sounds also leads on ratings volume (45 vs 5). Talking Car's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Car Sounds sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Talking Car asks for nothing beyond the download.

Car Sounds holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Car Sounds has 45 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Talking Car's written reviews are positive against 50% of Car Sounds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Talking Car ships an update every 6 months, Car Sounds every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
