Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Talk Left at Free against DrakeEquation's $0.99. Talk Left also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). DrakeEquation's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
