# Concepts vs TalkVideo

The clearest difference is ads: Concepts at none against TalkVideo's shown. Concepts also leads on chart position (#185 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). TalkVideo's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Concepts sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TalkVideo sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Concepts ships an update fortnightly, TalkVideo every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
