# Speech Bubble vs Comic Touch 2

The clearest difference is rating: Speech Bubble at 3.8 against Comic Touch 2's 3.0. Speech Bubble also leads on ratings volume (971 vs 4). Comic Touch 2's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Speech Bubble sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Comic Touch 2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speech Bubble holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speech Bubble has 971 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Speech Bubble's written reviews are positive against 57% of Comic Touch 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Speech Bubble ships an update every 4 months, Comic Touch 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
