# Talkpal vs Pishee

Talkpal and Pishee both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pishee's written reviews are positive against 58% of Talkpal's. Talkpal's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4K vs 9). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talkpal sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Pishee sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Talkpal against 4.8 for Pishee. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talkpal has 4K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Talkpal's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pishee's.

Talkpal ships an update every 9 days, Pishee every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
