Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Talkcoms at none against Cheap Calls's 5. Talkcoms also leads on ratings volume (705 vs 75). Cheap Calls's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 27 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cheap Calls sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Talkcoms asks for nothing beyond the download.
Talkcoms holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talkcoms has 705 ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Cheap Calls's written reviews are positive against 63% of Talkcoms's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cheap Calls ships an update every 4 months, Talkcoms every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
